Diabetes care management system
First Claim
1. A diabetes care management system for managing blood glucose levels associated with diabetes, comprising:
- a computing device, comprising;
a memory configured to store (i) a plurality of optimal blood glucose values at a plurality of times, (ii) a plurality of carbohydrate intake values at said times, (iii) a plurality of measured blood glucose values of a patient at said times, and (iv) a plurality of optimal carbohydrate intake values at said times;
a microprocessor, in communication with said memory, said microprocessor programmed to (A) generate a plurality of scaling factors customized to said patient in response to changes in any one of said carbohydrate intake values or said measured blood glucose values at any one of said times and (B) calculate a plurality of future blood glucose values based on (i) a plurality of differentials, one of said differentials calculated as one of said scaling factors multiplied by differences between one of said carbohydrate intake values and one of said optimal carbohydrate intake values, (ii) a sum of said differentials plus (iii) a difference between one of said measured blood glucose values and a corresponding one of said optimal blood glucose values; and
an insulin delivery device configured to deliver insulin in response to said patient initiating said delivery after reading one of said future blood glucose values.

Abstract
A diabetes care management system for managing blood glucose levels associated with diabetes, comprising a computing device and an insulin delivery device. The computing device generally includes (i) a memory comprising one or more optimal blood glucose values, one or more insulin dose values of a patient, one or more measured blood glucose values, and one or more scaling factors for weighting the impact on a future blood glucose value and that are customizable to an individual patient to predict the effect on the blood glucose of insulin dose actions performed by the individual patient, (ii) a microprocessor, in communication with the memory, programmed to calculate a further value, the further value being based on the insulin dose values, the optimal blood glucose values, and the scaling factors, (iii) a display configured to display information according to the further value, and (iv) a housing, wherein the memory and the microprocessor are housed within the housing, thereby providing a hand-held, readily transportable computing device. The insulin delivery device may deliver insulin in response to information associated with the further value.
