Methods and systems for adjusting an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump
First Claim
1. An insulin pump for automatically delivering insulin to a person having diabetes and configured to receive at least a local time zone time from an external local clock, the insulin pump comprising:
- an internal clock providing an operating time;
a delivery module for delivering the insulin to the person;
memory storing an insulin delivery profile comprising one or more delivery times;
a wireless communication module configured to wirelessly receive the local time zone time from the external local clock; and
a processor in electrical communication with the internal clock, the memory for reading the insulin delivery profile, the delivery module, and the wireless communication module, wherein the processor;
automatically causes the delivery module to deliver the insulin to the person when a delivery time of the insulin delivery profile that is read from memory by the processor matches the operating time of the internal clock,receives the local time zone time from the wireless communication module,makes a request for the person to provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time,receives the time adjustment value from input provided by the person, andadjusts the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the delivery times of an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump, wherein the insulin pump is operable to automatically deliver insulin to a person having diabetes based on an operating time of the internal clock and a delivery time of an insulin delivery profile. The method may comprise receiving a local time zone time from an external local clock, determining whether the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time, requesting the person provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time, receiving the time adjustment value from the person, and adjusting the delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received.

12. A system for automatically delivering insulin to a person having diabetes and configured to receive at least a local time zone time from an external local clock, the system comprising:
-
an insulin pump having; an internal clock providing an operating time, a delivery module for delivering the insulin to the person according to an insulin delivery profile comprising one or more delivery times, memory storing the insulin delivery profile, and a first processor in electrical communication with the internal clock, the memory for reading the insulin delivery profile, and the delivery module; and a blood glucose (bG) meter in communication with the insulin pump via a wireless communication link, the bG meter having an input device, a display, a wireless communication module, and a second processor in electrical communication with the input device, the display, the wireless communication module, wherein; the second processor; receives the operating time of the internal clock of the insulin pump via the wireless communication link, receives the local time zone time from the external local clock via the wireless communication module or from the person via the input device, determines whether times of the local time zone time and the operating time differ by at least a first predetermined amount of time, displays a request on the display for a time adjustment value from the person representing an amount of time to adjust the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time, receives the time adjustment value via the input device, sends the time adjustment value when received to the insulin pump via the wireless communication link, and the first processor adjusts the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value sent from the bG meter. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method for adjusting an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump, wherein the insulin pump is configured to automatically deliver insulin to a person having diabetes based on an operating time of an internal clock and the insulin delivery profile comprising one or more delivery times, and the method comprises:
-
receiving a local time zone time from an external local clock; determining whether the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time; requesting the person provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time; receiving the time adjustment value from the person; and adjusting the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
