Abstract: A method and system for optimizing insulin dosages for diabetic subjects which includes a processor for calculating basal and bolus dosages to be recommended for meal types including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or at miscellaneous times. The bolus calculations are specifically directed to time periods which are taken from either pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime, mid-sleep or miscellaneous times. The processor calculates an optimized bolus for a specific time period and meal type based upon prior basal dosages, prior glucose doses, hypoglycemia thresholds, mid-point of target ranges, and subject insulin sensitivity factors. A display is provided to the subject for sensing the optimized insulin dosage recommended at a specific time period and for a specific meal type.

Abstract: A method of administering insulin includes receiving glucose measurements of a patient at a data processing device from a continuous glucose monitoring system. The glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method also includes receiving patient information at the data processing device and selecting a subcutaneous insulin treatment from a collection of subcutaneous insulin treatments. The selection is based on the glucose measurements and the patient information. The selection includes one or more of a subcutaneous standard program, a subcutaneous program without meal boluses, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program without carbohydrate counting, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program with carbohydrate counting, and a subcutaneous program for non-diabetic patients. The method also includes executing, using the data processing device, the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining training data for a plurality of patients of a patient population. The training data includes training blood glucose history data including treatment doses of insulin administered by the patients of the patient population and one or more outcome attributes associated with each treatment dose. The method also includes identifying, for each patient of the patient population, one or more optimum treatment doses of insulin from the treatment doses yielding favorable outcome attributes. The method also includes receiving patient-state information for the treated patient, determining a next recommended treatment dose of insulin for the treated patient based on one or more of the identified optimum treatment doses associated with the patients of the patient population having training patient-state information similar to the patient-state information for the treated patient, and transmitting the next recommended treatment dose to a portable device associated with the treated patient.

Abstract: A method of administering insulin includes receiving scheduled glucose time intervals and obtaining glucose data of a patient that includes glucose measurements, glucose times, and insulin dosages previously administered by the patient. The method also includes applying a set of filters to identify which of the glucose measurements associated with at least one of the scheduled time intervals are usable and which of the glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval are unusable. The method also includes aggregating the glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval identified as usable to determine a representative aggregate glucose measurement and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate glucose measurement and the insulin dosages previously administered by the patient.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining blood glucose measurements and blood glucose times of a patient from a blood glucose meter and executing a patient management program configured to display on a screen a graphical user interface having a trend window of the blood glucose measurements on the time line. The patient management program is configured to receive, in the trend window magnifying inputs for a magnification window superimposed on a segment of the timeline to specify a date range for a magnified window. The patient management program is further configured to display the magnified window including the blood glucose measurements of the patient from the specified date range and display a first information window including quantitative information associated with the blood glucose measurements from the specified date range.
