1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, at data processing hardware, a blood glucose measurement of a patient and patient condition parameters during a pre-meal time from a user device controlled by the patient, the patient condition parameters comprising a number of carbohydrates consumed by the patient and an exercise parameter for the patient, and the pre-meal time associated with a meal type corresponding to one of breakfast, lunch, or dinner, wherein the user device is configured to;

    receive, in a user interface executing on the user device, inputs from the patient for each patient condition parameter during the pre-meal time; and

    transmit the patient condition parameters from the user device to the data processing hardware;

    determining, by the data processing hardware, a recommended dosage of insulin for the patient to administer based on the patient condition parameters;

    storing, by the data processing hardware, the recommended dosage of insulin and the patient condition parameters in memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware;

    transmitting the recommended dosage of insulin from the data processing hardware to the user device, the recommended dosage of insulin, when received by the user device, causing the user interface to display the recommended dosage of insulin;

    obtaining, by the data processing hardware, an insulin sensitivity factor for the patient and a target blood glucose range defined by upper and lower blood glucose limits for the patient from the memory hardware, the insulin sensitivity factor and the target blood glucose range inputted to the memory hardware by a medical professional computing device associated with an authorized medical professional;

    determining, by the data processing hardware, whether the blood glucose measurement exceeds a midpoint of the target blood glucose range for the patient; and

    when the blood glucose measurement exceeds the midpoint of the target blood glucose range for the patient;

    determining, by the data processing hardware, a correction dose based on a function of the blood glucose measurement, the mid-point of the target blood glucose range and the insulin sensitivity factor; and

    transmitting the correction dose from the data processing hardware to the user device, the correction dose, when received by the user device, causing the user interface executing on the user device to display the correction dose,wherein the correction dose is calculated as follows;
