Devices, systems and methods for quantifying bolus doses according to user parameters
First Claim
1. A method for determining a recommended bolus dose of therapeutic fluid to be delivered to the body of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving by a processor a current blood glucose level (CBG) of the user;
receiving by the processor a BG trend including a direction and/or rate of change of blood glucose level (BG) of the user;
receiving by the processor one or more additional parameters relating to the user;
determining by the processor an initial bolus dose of the therapeutic fluid for the user before delivery to the body of the user based on the CBG, the BG trend and the one or more additional parameters relating to the user;
determining by the processor a recommended bolus dose to be delivered to the body of the user based on the initial bolus dose being multiplied by one or more multiplier values, wherein the one or more multiplier values represent a magnitude on a relative scale of an associated one of the BG trend and the one or more additional parameters, such that delivering the recommended bolus dose to the user compensates for a change in a BG level of the user, and wherein the recommended bolus is determined by the processor after determining the initial bolus dose and before delivery of any one of the initial bolus dose and the recommended bolus dose; and
notifying, by the processor, the user of the recommended bolus dose.

Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for determining a recommended bolus dose of therapeutic fluid to be delivered to the body are disclosed. Such a recommended bolus dose may be provided by establishing an initial bolus dose for a user based on one or more first parameters relating to the user and adjusting (e.g., increasing or decreasing) this initial bolus dose amount based on one or more second user parameters by multiplying the initial bolus dose by one or more multiplier values that correlate to at least one of the second parameters and/or by adding or subtracting an absolute value of at least one of the second parameters from the initial bolus dose amount.

22. A method for determining a recommended bolus dose of therapeutic fluid to be delivered to the body of a user, the method comprising:
-
receiving by a processor a current blood glucose level (CBG) of the user; receiving by the processor a BG trend including a direction and/or rate of change of blood glucose level (BG) of the user; receiving by the processor one or more additional parameters relating to the user; determining by the processor an initial bolus dose of the therapeutic fluid for the user before delivery to the body of the user based on the CBG, the BG trend and the one or more additional parameters relating to the user; determining by the processor a recommended bolus dose to be delivered to the body of the user based on the initial bolus dose being multiplied by one or more multiplier values, wherein the one or more multiplier values represent a magnitude on a relative scale of an associated one of the BG trend and the one or more additional parameters, such that delivering the recommended bolus dose to the user compensates for a change in a BG level of the user, and wherein the recommended bolus is determined by the processor after determining the initial bolus dose and before delivery of any one of the initial bolus dose and the recommended bolus dose; and notifying, by the processor, the user of the recommended bolus dose, wherein the one or more additional parameters relating to the user has a first group of parameters is comprised of insulin sensitivity (IS), carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio (CIR), target blood glucose level (TBG), an amount of carbohydrate to be consumed (TC), residual insulin (RI), a received user input via a user interface, glycemic index (GI), fat content of the meal, and fiber content of the meal, and a second group of parameters comprised of physical activity level, emotional stress level, blood ketones level and/or trend, blood pH level and/or trend, presence of an illness and/or menstruation and body temperature, and wherein the initial bolus dose is based on the one or more of the additional parameters being selected from the first group of parameters and the CBG, and the one or more multiplier values correlate with at least one of the one or more additional parameters being selected from the second group of parameters and the BG trend.
