1. A method of improving diabetes management with an electronic analyte monitoring and management system comprising a sensor, one or more processing units, and an infusion device, the method comprising:
- retrieving from a data storage unit using the one or more processing units, a first medication delivery profile for administration of a medication to a user during a plurality of time segments;
administering the medication with the infusion device according to the first medication delivery profile;
monitoring, using the sensor, an analyte level of the user during the plurality of time segments;
determining, using the one or more processing units, a frequency of the analyte level deviating from a predetermined level during one or more of the plurality of time segments;
determining, using the one or more processing units, a second medication delivery profile for administration of the medication during the one or more of the plurality of time segments when the frequency of the analyte level deviating from the predetermined level exceeds a predetermined threshold; and
administering the medication with the infusion device according to the second medication delivery profile such that the frequency of the analyte level'"'"'s deviation from the predetermined level is reduced.

Abstract
Method and system for providing basal profile modification in insulin therapy for use with infusion devices includes periodically monitoring the analyte levels of a patient for a predetermined period of time in order to determine, based on the monitored analyte levels, an appropriate modification factor to be incorporated into the underlying basal profile which was running at the time the periodic monitoring of the analyte levels were performed.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an infusion device adapted to administer medication to a user according to instructions from one or more processing units; the one or more processing units operatively coupled with the infusion device; and a data storage unit operatively coupled to the one or more processing units, the data storage unit having stored therein executable programming instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, are configured to retrieve a first medication delivery profile for administration of a medication during a plurality of time segments from the data storage unit, to cause administration of the medication by the infusion device according to the first medication delivery profile, to monitor an analyte level during the plurality of time segments, to determine a frequency of the analyte level deviating from a predetermined level during one or more of the plurality of time segments, to determine a second medication delivery profile for administration of the medication during the one or more of the plurality of time segments when the frequency of the analyte level deviating from the predetermined level exceeds a predetermined threshold, and to cause administration of the medication by the infusion device according to the second medication delivery profile such that the frequency of the analyte level'"'"'s deviation from the predetermined level is reduced. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
