Method and device for assessing carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of determining an assessed carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIRnew) of a patient, the method being performed by execution of computer program instructions by one or more processors, the method, comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, an initial set of values comprising at least a normoglycemia glucose level (BG0). a target glucose level (TBG), an insulin sensitivity (IS), and, an estimated carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIRold);
receiving, by one or more processors, a Carb value representing a planned meal of a content having a known carbohydrate load (Carb);
receiving or determining, by one or more processors, a test bolus value based on the determined initial set of values and the Carb value;
receiving or determining, by one or more processors, a post-prandial glucose level (CBG) of the patient subsequent to administration of the test bolus and consumption of the planned meal;
determining, by one or more processors, the assessed carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIRnew) of the patient based on the initial set of values and the post-prandial glucose level (CBG) of the patient;
wherein the determination of the post-prandial glucose level (CBG) is repeated, by one or more processors, until either;
a substantially constant glucose level (BG1) is achieved, and/ora normal post-prandial glucose level is achieved.

Abstract
A system and a method for determining an assessed carbohydrate to insulin ratio of a patient is described. The system and the method can comprise a memory component adapted for storing an initial set of values comprising at least one of a blood glucose level, a target blood glucose level, an insulin sensitivity, and, an estimated carbohydrate to insulin ratio. The system and the method can also comprise a bolus selection component adapted for selecting a test bolus corresponding to the determined initial set of values and a planned meal. In one implementation, the bolus selection component can receive bolus dose input from a user. In another implementation, the bolus selection component can estimate the bolus dose using a set of available inputs (e.g. the amount of carbohydrates in the planned meal). The system and the method can further comprise a user interface component adapted for receiving a confirmation that the test bolus has been administered to the patient. In some implementations, the user interface component can be adapted for selecting a meal of a known content.
