Insulin pump for determining carbohydrate consumption
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An insulin pump comprising:
- a pump mechanism;
a memory configured to store a target blood glucose level;
a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory, the programmable circuit programmed to;
receive a current blood glucose level;
compare the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level; and
upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculate, based on a difference between the current blood glucose level and the target blood glucose level, a carbohydrate value required to raise the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level.

Abstract
Methods of regulating blood glucose using an insulin pump are disclosed. A method includes storing a target blood glucose level in the pump. The method also includes receiving a current blood glucose level, and comparing the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level. The method further includes, upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculating a carbohydrate value required to change the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level.
