Method and device for improving glycemic control based on residual insulin
First Claim
1. A drug delivery system for administration of insulin to a body of a patient, the system comprising:
- a processor-based device implementing at least a residual insulin (RI) determination unit, the RI determination unit configured to;
receive one or more bolus records, each of the bolus records being associated with a respective bolus dose delivered to the patient and includes at least an associated bolus dose value, an associated time representative of the time the respective bolus dose was delivered to the patient, and an associated duration value representative of dose-dependent duration of therapeutic effectiveness of the associated dose value; and
determine a residual insulin in the patient'"'"'s body based on the associated bolus dose value, the associated time, and the associated duration value associated with each of the one or more bolus records; and
a pump to controllably dispense the insulin from a reservoir to the body of the patient based on the residual insulin determined by the RI determination unit.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods, including a system that includes a processor-based device implementing at least a residual insulin (RI) determination unit configured to determine a residual insulin in the patient'"'"'s body at a particular time instance based on bolus doses previously delivered to the body of the patient, each bolus dose being associated with at least one dose value and a time representative of the time that dose value was delivered to the patient'"'"'s body, and based on dose dependent RI time records that each includes at least a dose value and an associated duration value representative of dose-dependent duration of therapeutic effectiveness of the associated at least the dose value. The system also includes a pump to controllably dispense the insulin from a reservoir to the body of the patient based on the residual insulin determined by the RI determination unit.

7. A method for determining residual insulin (RI) for use with an insulin delivery device, the method comprising:
-
receiving one or more bolus records, each of the bolus records being associated with a respective bolus dose delivered to a patient and includes at least an associated bolus dose value, an associated time representative of the time the respective bolus dose was delivered to the patient, and an associated duration value representative of dose-dependent duration of therapeutic effectiveness of the associated dose value; and determining, based on the associated bolus dose value, the associated time, and the associated duration value associated with each of the one or more bolus records, a residual insulin in the patient'"'"'s body at a particular time instance. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
