Pattern recognition and filtering in a therapy management system
First Claim
1. A method of diabetes analysis, comprising:
- receiving, using a processor and a glucose sensor, a plurality of glucose level readings over a plurality of days for a user, each of the plurality of glucose level readings having multiple glucose level measurements for one of the plurality of days;
determining, using the processor, a common event occurrence in at least two of the glucose level readings;
analyzing, using the processor, the at least two glucose level readings from the common event occurrence onwards in time for a time period;
identifying, using the processor, a glucose level pattern formed by the at least two glucose level readings having a similar shape;
analyzing, using the processor, an anomalous glucose level reading not conforming to the glucose level pattern to determine whether the anomalous glucose level reading has the similar shape;
adjusting, using the processor, the anomalous glucose level reading to adapt to the glucose level pattern to form an adapted glucose level pattern if the anomalous glucose level reading has the similar shape;
filtering out, using the processor, the anomalous glucose level reading if the anomalous glucose level reading does not have the similar shape;
calculating, using the processor, an insulin dosage for the time period beginning at the common event occurrence based on the adapted glucose level pattern; and
initiating an action, wherein the action includes at least one of recommending the calculated dosage and automatically delivering the calculated insulin dosage,wherein the method is implemented on a portable medical system.

Abstract
A method of diabetes analysis includes receiving a plurality of glucose level readings for a user. A common event occurrence in at least two of the glucose level readings is determined. The at least two glucose level readings from the common event occurrence onwards in time for a time period is analyzed. A glucose level pattern formed by the at least two glucose level readings having a similar shape is determined. At least one anomalous glucose level reading having the similar shape and not conforming to the glucose level pattern is analyzed. The at least one anomalous glucose level reading is adapted to the pattern to form an adapted glucose level pattern. An insulin dosage for the time period beginning at the common event occurrence is calculated based on the adapted glucose level pattern.
