Abstract

Method and system for providing diabetes management and insulin therapy based on substantially real time glucose monitoring system is provided.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving data associated with monitored analyte related levels for a predetermined time period substantially in real time;

retrieving one or more therapy profiles associated with the monitored analyte related levels; and

generating one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles based on the data associated with the monitored analyte related levels.

2. The method of claim 1 further including displaying the generated one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the generated one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles is displayed as one or more of an alphanumeric output display, a graphical output display, an icon display, a video output display, a color display or an illumination display.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined time period includes a time period between 15 minutes and six hours.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more therapy profiles includes a basal profile, a correction bolus, a temporary basal profile, an insulin sensitivity, an insulin on board level, and an insulin absorption rate.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein retrieving one or more therapy profiles associated with the monitored analyte related levels includes retrieving a current analyte rate of change information.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein generating one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles includes determining a modified analyte rate of change information based on the received data associated with monitored analyte related levels.

8. The method of claim 7 further including generating an output alert based on the modified analyte rate of change information.

9. The method of claim 7 further including determining an analyte level projection information based on the modified analyte rate of change information.

10. A system for providing diabetes management, comprising:

an interface unit; and

one or more processors coupled to the interface unit; and

a memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to receive data associated with monitored analyte related levels for a predetermined time period substantially in real time, retrieve one or more therapy profiles associated with the monitored analyte related levels, and generate one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles based on the data associated with the monitored analyte related levels.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the interface unit includes an input unit and an output unit, the input unit configured to receive the one or more analyte related data, and the output unit configured to output the one or more of the generated modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein the interface unit and the one or more processors are operatively coupled to one or more of a housing of an infusion device or a housing of an analyte monitoring system.

13. The system of claim 10 wherein the memory is further configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to display the generated one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein when the memory is configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to display the generated one or more modifications to the retrieved one or more therapy profiles as one or more of an alphanumeric output display, a graphical output display, an icon display, a video output display, a color display or an illumination display.

15. The system of claim 10 wherein the predetermined time period includes one of a time period between 15 minutes and six hours.

16. The system of claim 10 wherein the one or more therapy profiles includes a basal profile, a correction bolus, a temporary basal profile, an insulin sensitivity, an insulin on board level, and an insulin absorption rate.

17. The system of claim 10 wherein the memory is further configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to retrieve a current analyte rate of change information.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the memory is further configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to determine a modified analyte rate of change information based on the received data associated with monitored analyte related levels.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein the memory is further configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to generate an output alert based on the modified analyte rate of change information.

20. The system of claim 18 wherein the memory is further configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to determine an analyte level projection information based on the modified analyte rate of change information.
