Diagnostic methods and devices for monitoring chronic glycemia
First Claim
1. A computer apparatus for performing at least one of diagnosing or monitoring chronic glycemia, said apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
programming which, when executed by said at least one processor, performs a process including;
receiving daily vectors of measured blood glucose level values ordered by daily-defined time points over multiple days distributed over a predefined time period;
calculating a vector average from the daily vectors;
calculating a chronic glycemia value based on the vector average modified by a universal term based on the centroid of an attractor basin estimated by an orbit established by the daily vectors calculated from the blood glucose levels measured at the defined time points over multiple days distributed over the predefined time period;
receiving subsequent daily vectors of blood glucose level values measured at subsequent defined time points after the predefined time period;
calculating an updated vector average from the daily vectors and subsequent daily vectors;
calculating a subsequent chronic glycemia value based on the updated vector average modified by the universal term based on the centroid of the attractor basin estimated from the orbit; and
outputting the chronic glycemia value and subsequent chronic glycemia value to show a trend over time of chronic glycemia status.
