Device and method for insulin dosing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing instruction to a patient via an advising computing device the advising computing device performing the steps of:
- receiving an indication of a first dose actually administered;
determining if the actually administered first dose differs from an expected first dose generated via an advising program of the advising computing device;
receiving an indication of a second dose actually administered; and
determining if the actually administered second dose differs from an expected second dose generated via the advising program of the advising computing device;
such that if the actually administered first dose differs from the expected first dose and the actually administered second dose differs from the expected second dose, then defining a third expected dose using the first actually administered dose and the second actually administered dose.

14. A method of providing instruction from an advising computing device to a patient, the advising computing device performing the steps of:
-
defining a value for a physiological condition as a first value and defining a first dose associated with the first value of the physiological condition; receiving indications of a value of the physiological condition of the patient; determining if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined first value; if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined first value, recommending the first dose; and if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is not equal to the defined first value, determining a first past dose administered in the past when the value of the physiological condition was similarly not equal to the defined first value and recommending a second dose equal to the first past dose. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
providing an advising computing device; providing the patient with a recommended dose from the advising computing device; instructing the patient to provide input to the advising computing device indicating either agreement or disagreement with the recommended dose; and wherein if the patient provides input indicating agreement with the recommended dose, using the recommended dose as an actually administered dose, and if the patient provides input indicating disagreement with the recommended dose, instructing the patient to input the actually administered dose into the advising computing device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)

53. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
providing an advising computing device; receiving a blood glucose reading by the advising computing device; and determining, by the advising computing device, whether the received blood glucose reading was taken within a predetermined testing window; and
if the reading was taken within the window, accepting the reading and providing the patient with a recommended dose, and if the reading was taken outside the window, identifying the reading as non-conforming. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55)

56. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
providing at least one advising computing device; receiving a plurality of communications from the at least one computing device indicating a health problem; assembling a listing of the plurality of communications from at least one advising computing device, the communications being arranged so as to prioritize the communications based upon the severity of the health problem indicated thereby, and displaying the arranged listing of communications by the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58)

59. A computer readable medium containing non-transitory instructions that when executed by a computer performs steps to provide instruction to a patient, the steps comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a first dose actually administered; determining if the actually administered first dose differs from an expected first dose; receiving an indication of a second dose actually administered; and determining if the actually administered second dose differs from an expected second dose;
such that if the actually administered first dose differs from the expected first dose and the actually administered second dose differs from the expected second dose, then defining a third expected dose using the first actually administered dose and the second actually administered dose. - View Dependent Claims (60, 61)

62. A computer readable medium containing non-transitory instructions that when executed by a computer performs steps to provide instruction to a patient, the steps comprising:
-
defining a value for a physiological condition as a first value and defining a first dose associated with the first value of the physiological condition; receiving indications of a value of the physiological condition of the patient; determining if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined first value; if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined first value, recommending the first dose; and if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is not equal to the defined first value, determining a first past dose administered in the past when the value of the physiological condition was similarly not equal to the defined first value and recommending a second dose equal to the first past dose. - View Dependent Claims (63)

64. A computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a computer performs steps to provide instruction to a patient, the steps comprising:
-
providing the patient with a recommended dose; instructing the patient to either agree with the recommended dose or to disagree with the recommended dose wherein if the patient provides input indicating agreement with the recommended dose, using the recommended dose as an actually administered dose, and if the patient provides input indicating disagreement with the recommended dose, instructing the patient to input the actually administered dose.
