Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: An exercise band adapted for use in multiple exercise types, such as speed-endurance exercise and strength training. The exercise band includes bi-modal handles that arrange for ease of use in either jump rope mode or resistance band mode. The handle(s) may be arranged in multiple ways to allow for various grip orientations to better accommodate multiple exercise types. Also included is a method for modifying a jump rope to allow for reorientation of the handles for strength training.
