Abstract

A method may include displaying at least three icons on a user interface of a mobile device, including a first icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a first carbohydrate level, a second icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a second carbohydrate level, and a third icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a third carbohydrate level. The method may also include receiving a user selection of one of the three icons through the user interface of the mobile device, and determining an insulin bolus level from the user selection. The method may also include communicating the insulin bolus level to an insulin delivery device.

Claims

1. An insulin delivery system comprising:

an insulin delivery device adapted to receive insulin and deliver insulin subcutaneously;

a user interface in communication with the insulin delivery device and adapted to send the insulin delivery device bolus insulin instructions, the user interface comprising a plurality of user-selectable icons or buttons each representing an amount of carbohydrates;

memory to store one or more user-specific dosage parameter; and

a processor in communication with the memory and adapted to receive blood glucose data, the processor being adapted to determine the amount of carbohydrates associated with each of the plurality of user-selectable icons or buttons based on at least one of the user-specific dosage parameters, the processor further being adapted to update the amount of carbohydrates associated with each of the plurality of user-selectable icons or buttons based upon the blood glucose data.

2. The insulin delivery system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable icons or buttons each represent an amount of carbohydrates in 5 gram or 10 gram increments.

3. The insulin delivery system according to claim 1, wherein the amount of carbohydrates represented by each of the plurality of icons is determined based on an insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF), a Carb Ratio (CR), a body weight, an age, a total daily basal (TDB) rate, and/or a combination thereof of a person with diabetes (PWD).

4. The insulin delivery system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine an insulin delivery amount based on an amount of carbohydrates associated with a selected one of the user selectable icons or buttons and/or the blood glucose data.

5. The insulin delivery system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable icons or buttons each represent an amount of carbohydrates rounded to the nearest 5 grams.

6. The insulin delivery system according to claim 1, further comprising a glucose monitor adapted to monitor the glucose level of a person with diabetes and provide blood glucose data to the processor.

7. The insulin delivery system according to claim 1, wherein the amount of carbohydrates associated with each of the plurality of user-selectable icons is determined from postprandial blood glucose data.

8. A method comprising:

displaying at least three icons on a user interface of a mobile device, a first icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a first carbohydrate level, a second icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a second carbohydrate level, and a third icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a third carbohydrate level;

receiving a user selection of one of the three icons through the user interface of the mobile device;

determining an insulin bolus level from the user selection; and

communicating the insulin bolus level to an insulin delivery device.

9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising receiving blood glucose data;

wherein the insulin bolus level is determined in part from the blood glucose data.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein adjusting the first carbohydrate level, the second carbohydrate level, and the third carbohydrate level based on an insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF), a Carb Ratio (CR), a body weight, an age, a total daily basal (TDB) rate, and/or a combination thereof of a person with diabetes (PWD).

11. The method according to claim 8, wherein the insulin bolus level is communicated to the insulin delivery device in response to a user selection indicating delivery of the insulin, wherein the user selection includes a fail safe procedure.

12. The method according to claim 8, wherein the insulin bolus level is communicated to the insulin delivery device in response to a user selection indicating delivery of the insulin, wherein the user selection includes a plurality of taps or gestures from a user.

13. The method according to claim 8, wherein the first carbohydrate level is rounded to the nearest 5 grams, the second carbohydrate level is rounded to the nearest 5 grams, and the third carbohydrate level is rounded to the nearest 5 grams.

14. The method according to claim 8, further comprising:

receiving postprandial blood glucose data; and

adjusting at least one of the first carbohydrate level, the second carbohydrate level, and the third carbohydrate level based on the postprandial blood glucose data.

15. The method according to claim 8, wherein the insulin bolus level is determined from factors selected from the list consisting of the number of carbohydrates divided by the PWD'"'"'s carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio, a difference between the current blood glucose level and a target blood glucose level divided by the PWD'"'"'s insulin sensitivity factor, a reading from a blood glucose meter (BGM), data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), data from a flash glucose monitor, blood glucose trend data, Insulin on Board (IOB) data, Carbohydrates on Board (COB) data, whether the PWD is or plans to exercise, whether the PWD is sick, whether the PWD is pregnant, whether the PWD is experiencing menses, and whether the PWD has consumed certain medications.

16. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media containing instructions that, in response to being executed by one or more processors, cause a mobile device to perform operations comprising:

display at least three icons on a user interface of the mobile device, a first icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a first carbohydrate level, a second icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a second carbohydrate level, and a third icon associated with the at least three icons associated with a third carbohydrate level;

receive a user selection of one of the three icons through the user interface of the mobile device;

determine an insulin bolus level from the user selection; and

communicate the insulin bolus level to an insulin delivery device.

17. The computer-readable media of claim 16, wherein the insulin bolus level is communicated to the insulin delivery device in response to a user selection indicating delivery of the insulin, wherein the user selection includes a fail safe procedure.

18. The computer-readable media of claim 16, wherein the insulin bolus level is communicated to the insulin delivery device in response to a user selection indicating delivery of the insulin, wherein the user selection includes a plurality of taps or gestures from a user.

19. The computer-readable media of claim 16, wherein the first carbohydrate level is rounded to the nearest 5 grams, the second carbohydrate level is rounded to the nearest 5 grams, and the third carbohydrate level is rounded to the nearest 5 grams.

20. The computer-readable media of claim 16, wherein the operations further comprise:

receive postprandial blood glucose data; and

adjust at least one of the first carbohydrate level, the second carbohydrate level, and the third carbohydrate level based on the postprandial blood glucose data.
