Bolus dose determination for a therapeutic fluid dispensing system
First Claim
1. A medical device to treat diabetes, the medical device comprising:
- a processor;
a bolus calculator comprising computer instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
receiving a meal type corresponding to a food intake to be consumed by a user, the meal type can be a first meal type representing a simple meal or a second meal type representing a composite meal;
receiving a plurality of food types associated with the food intake to be consumed by the user if the second meal type is received;
calculating a bolus to be delivered to the user for the food intake to be consumed by the user;
the bolus being calculated based, at least in part, on;
the meal type, a carbohydrate load of the food intake to be consumed by the user if the first meal type is received, the plurality of food types associated with the food intake to be consumed by the user if the second meal type is received, a current glucose level of the user, a residual insulin of the user, a carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio of the user, an insulin sensitivity of the user, and a target glucose level of the user;
wherein the processor is housed in one or more of;
an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control for the insulin dispensing pump and a handheld glucose monitor;
and wherein the computer instructions further include instructions to reevaluate an effect of the carbohydrate load based on a value associated with a glycemic index of the food intake.

Abstract
Disclosed is a medical device to treat diabetes. The medical device includes a bolus calculator to determine an insulin bolus based on, at least in part, a glycemic index value associated with an intake to be consumed by a user, the bolus calculator further adapted to determine the insulin bolus using one or more inputs selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate load of the intake, a current glucose level of the user, a residual insulin of the user, a carbohydrate to insulin ration, an insulin sensitivity of the user and a target glucose level of the user. The bolus calculator is housed in one or more of, for example, an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control unit for the insulin dispensing pump and/or a handheld glucose monitor.

17. A method for treating diabetes, the method comprising:
-
providing a processor housed in at least one of an insulin dispensing pump, a handheld remote control for the insulin dispensing pump and a handheld glucose monitor; providing a bolus calculator application comprising computer instructions for operating on the processor to determine a bolus for delivery to a user; receiving input comprising a meal type corresponding to a food intake to be consumed by the user, the meal type can be a first meal type representing a simple meal or a second meal type representing a composite meal, a carbohydrate load of a food intake to be consumed by the user if the first meal type is received, a plurality of food types associated with the food intake to be consumed by the user if the second meal type is received, a current glucose level of the user, a residual insulin of the user, a carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio of the user, an insulin sensitivity of the user, and a target glucose level of the user; determining the bolus based at least in part on the carbohydrate load of the food intake to be consumed by the user if the first meal type is received, the plurality of food types associated with the food intake to be consumed by the user if the second meal type is received, the current glucose level of the user, the residual insulin of the user, the carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio of the user, the insulin sensitivity of the user, and the target glucose level of the user; and reevaluating an effect of the carbohydrate load based on a value associated with a glycemic index of the food intake. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
