Abstract: A control unit for an electronically controlled pump unit controls the pump unit to infuse insulin into a diabetic's body in a substantially continuous way according to a preset infusion schedule as a function of time. The control unit includes an intervention unit that continuously evaluates a blood-glucose indicative input for detecting an actual or expected hypoglycaemia and executes, in response to an actual or expected hypoglycaemia, a temporary hypoglycaemia intervention. The intervention includes, for an intervention time interval, overriding the preset infusion schedule by temporarily suspending insulin infusion or temporarily reducing insulin infusion below the preset infusion schedule. The intervention unit adapts its way of operation with respect to executing the hypoglycaemia intervention in accordance with a control signal that is separate from the blood-glucose indicative input. The control unit automatically generates the control signal as a function of time and/or based on sensor input.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for adjusting fluid delivery based on past or historical fluid delivery data and/or personal parameters of a user are disclosed. Devices, and corresponding systems and methods, may comprise a dispensing unit configured to deliver a fluid from a reservoir into the body of a user and a processor having instructions operating thereon to retrieve data relating to one or more time windows from a memory, assess a correction delivery for the one or more time windows based on the data, determine a new CIR value for the one or more time windows if the correction delivery regularly follows a meal bolus and/or determine a new basal delivery profile for the one or more time windows if the correction delivery regularly precedes a meal bolus.
