ADJUSTING INSULIN DELIVERY RATES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- delivering insulin, using an insulin pump and a controller, over a first diurnal time period based on a baseline basal insulin rate that is stored, the controller receiving at least blood glucose data to control delivery of insulin via the insulin pump in amounts variable from the baseline basal insulin rate to control blood glucose levels for a person with diabetes; and
modifying the baseline basal insulin rate that is stored for a second diurnal time period that is at least 20 hours after the first diurnal time period based on an amount of insulin actually delivered during the first diurnal time period.

Abstract
A method may include delivering insulin, using an insulin pump and a controller, over a first diurnal time period based on a baseline basal insulin rate stored in memory. The controller may receive blood glucose data to control delivery of insulin via the insulin pump in amounts variable from the baseline basal insulin rate to control blood glucose levels for a person with diabetes (PWD). The method may also include modifying the baseline basal insulin rate stored in the memory for a second diurnal time period that is at least 20 hours after the first diurnal period based on an amount of insulin actually delivered during the first diurnal time period.

18. A system comprising:
-
an insulin pump configured to deliver insulin based on a message; a glucose sensor configured to generate blood glucose data; a controller including memory, configured to generate messages to deliver insulin over a first diurnal time period based on a baseline basal insulin rate stored in the memory; receive blood glucose data from the glucose sensor to control generation of the messages to deliver insulin in amounts variable from the baseline basal insulin rate to control blood glucose levels for a person with diabetes; and modify the baseline basal insulin rate stored in the memory for a second diurnal time period that is at least 20 hours after the first diurnal time period based on an amount of insulin actually delivered during the first diurnal time period. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
