Insulin delivery safety
First Claim
1. A method for delivering an adjusted insulin bolus into a body of a patient comprising:
- providing a remote control unit comprising a memory therein, the remote control unit communicative with a fluid dispensing unit comprising a reusable part and a disposable part, the disposable part containing a battery therein;
selecting a first time corresponding to a duration of insulin action;
selecting a second time corresponding to a lock out time duration;
receiving input for a selection of a first time period beginning at a time point T0 minus the first time and ending at the time point T0 minus the second time;
receiving input for a selection of one or more boluses delivered during the first time period;
receiving input for a selection of a corresponding residual insulin value estimated at the time point T0 for each of the one or more boluses;
computing a cumulative residual insulin value based on the corresponding residual insulin values; and
computing an adjusted insulin bolus based on the cumulative residual insulin value;
wherein the residual insulin value estimated at the time point T0 corresponds to a first portion of the one or more boluses, and the method further comprises recording, in the memory of the remote control unit, a second portion of the one or more boluses.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems, devices/apparatuses and methods for assessing a residual insulin value for a user/patient. Such embodiments may be implemented by selecting a first value corresponding to a duration of insulin action; selecting a second value corresponding to a lock out time duration, selecting a first time period beginning at a time point T0 minus the first value and ending at the time point T0 minus the second value, selecting one or more boluses delivered during the first time period; for each of the one or more boluses selecting a corresponding residual insulin value estimated at the time point T0, computing the cumulative residual insulin value by summation of the corresponding residual insulin values.

19. A system for determining and delivering an adjusted insulin bolus into a body of a patient comprising:
-
a remote control unit comprising a memory therein, the remote control unit communicative with a fluid dispensing unit comprising a reusable part and a disposable part, the disposable part containing a battery therein; the fluid dispensing unit comprising one or more integrally connected housings containing a pump and a reservoir, a processor, the processor having a bolus recommendation application operating thereon configured for carrying out the following steps; receiving a first time corresponding to a duration of insulin action; receiving a second time corresponding to a lock out time duration indicative of a period of time directly prior to an administration of the adjusted insulin bolus and within the duration of insulin action; receiving a first time period beginning at a time point T0 minus the first time and ending at the time point T0 minus the second time, wherein the first time period corresponds to an effective duration of insulin action; receiving a selection of a plurality of boluses delivered during the first time period; receiving a selection of a corresponding residual insulin value estimated at the time point T0 for each of the boluses; computing a cumulative residual insulin value based on the corresponding residual insulin values; and computing an adjusted insulin bolus based on the cumulative residual insulin value, wherein the pump is configured for dispensing the computed adjusted insulin bolus from the reservoir into the body of the patient; and wherein the residual insulin value estimated at the time point T0 corresponds to a first portion of the plurality of boluses, and wherein the memory on the remote control unit is configured to store a second portion of one or more boluses. - View Dependent Claims (20)
