1. A method of predicting glucose levels in a patient, the method comprising:
- automatically measuring a glucose level in the patient to obtain an actual glucose measurement;
automatically monitoring a physiological variable of the patient to obtain a measured physiological variable;
automatically modeling a glucose concentration of the patient as a function of the actual glucose measurement and the measured physiological variable;
automatically estimating a future glucose level for the patient from the model of the glucose concentration of the patient; and
automatically updating the model of the glucose concentration as a function of further glucose measurements and further physiological variables.

Abstract
A method and device for monitoring or treating patient glucose levels. The device includes a glucose sensor for measuring a glucose level of a patient, a physiological status monitoring system for measuring at least one physical or metabolic variable of the patient, and an automatic controller in communication with the glucose sensor and the physiological status monitoring system. The controller includes a prediction module for automatically predicting a future glucose level using data measured by the glucose sensor and the physiological sensor.
