Insulin pump based expert system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving blood glucose data into a device that includes an insulin pump;
presenting a question related to a blood glucose level of an insulin pump user when determining, from the blood glucose data, that the blood glucose level is different from a target blood glucose level;
receiving a response to the question into the insulin pump device; and
presenting a recommended action for the user to take based, at least in part, on the response, wherein the recommended action is selected from the group consisting of;
changing an aspect of user lifestyle, troubleshooting at least one of the insulin pump and associated equipment, changing at least one replaceable component associated with the insulin pump, delivering insulin with the insulin pump, altering the deliver of insulin with the insulin pump, initiating a measurement, initiating a test, consuming food, contacting a physician and changing an infusion site.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a pump configured to deliver insulin, an input configured to receive blood glucose data, a user interface, and a controller communicatively coupled to the pump, the input, and the user interface. The controller includes a blood glucose data module to compare the blood glucose data to a target blood glucose level for an insulin pump user. The controller is configured to present a question related to the blood glucose level via the user interface when the blood glucose level is different than the target blood glucose level, receive a response to the question via the user interface, and present a recommended user action based at least in part on the response. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.

7. A method comprising:
-
receiving blood glucose data into a device that includes an insulin pump; presenting a question related to a blood glucose level of an insulin pump user when determining, from the blood glucose data, that the blood glucose level is different from a target blood glucose level including applying a rule stored in the device to the blood glucose data to determine the question; receiving a response to the question into the insulin pump device; presenting a recommended action for the user to take based, at least in part, on the response; determining a rate of change of a blood glucose level of the user from the blood glucose data; and applying the rule to the rate of change of a blood glucose level to determine at least one of the question and the recommended action.

22. A method comprising:
-
receiving blood glucose data into a device that includes an insulin pump; presenting question related to a blood glucose level of an insulin pump user when determining, from the blood glucose data, that the blood glucose level is different from a target blood glucose level; receiving a response to the question into the insulin pump device; presenting a recommended action for the user to take based, at least in part, on the response; storing blood glucose history data of the user in the insulin pump device; and applying a rule to the blood glucose history data and the blood glucose data received from the blood glucose monitor to determine the recommended action; and presenting a prompt to the pump user to download blood glucose history data from a separate second device to the insulin pump device.

27. A method comprising:
-
receiving blood glucose data into a device that includes an insulin pump; presenting a question related to a blood glucose level of an insulin pump user when determining, from the blood glucose data, that the blood glucose level is different from a target blood glucose level; receiving a response to the question into the insulin pump device; presenting a recommended action for the user to take based, at least in part, on the response; wherein receiving blood glucose data includes; obtaining the blood glucose data using a second device separate from the insulin pump device; and receiving the blood glucose data into the insulin pump device from the second device through a communication port; and wherein receiving blood glucose data includes recurrently displaying a prompt to a user of the insulin pump device to obtain blood glucose data using the second device.
