1. A method for predicting a near future BG profile and the onset of hypoglycemia comprising the steps of:

  • monitoring and recording a BG history profile;

    monitoring and recording an insulin infusion and/or injection history profile;

    monitoring and recording a HR history profile as an estimate of physical activity;

    monitoring and recording a HRV history profile as an estimate of sympathetic nervous system activity;

    determining a predicted near future BG profile using a first predetermined bio-mathematical routine; and

    evaluating the near future BG profile to predict the onset of hypoglycemia in the near future based on an assessed risk of hypoglycemia, wherein the assessed risk of hypoglycemia is determined using a second predetermined bio-mathematical routine using a computerized processor.
