Abstract: A system, computer program product, method and algorithm for evaluation of blood glucose variability—one of the most important parameters of diabetes management. An embodiment of the method may use routine self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) data collected over a period of 2-6 weeks, for example, based on a theory of risk analysis of blood glucose data. One aspect may include a method, system and computer program product for computing the Average Daily Risk Range (ADRR)—a measure of overall glucose variability. Another aspect may include a method, system, and computer program product for estimating separately the glucose variability in the hypoglycemic range via a Low BG Index (LBGI) and the glucose variability in the high BG range via High BG Index (HBGI) followed by a combination of the two indices into a single variability display.

Abstract: A flexible system capable of utilizing data from different monitoring techniques and capable of providing assistance to patients with diabetes at several scalable levels, ranging from advice about long-term trends and prognosis to real-time automated closed-loop control (artificial pancreas). These scalable monitoring and treatment strategies are delivered by a unified system called the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) platform. The system provides a foundation for implementation of various monitoring, advisory, and automated diabetes treatment algorithms or methods. The DiAs recommendations are tailored to the specifics of an individual patient, and to the patient risk assessment at any given moment. A central data exchange node or server collects patient data from individual DiAs devices and provides safety assurance, monitoring, telemedicine and database building for the DiAs system.

Abstract: An Adaptive Advisory Control (AA Control) interactive process involving algorithm-based assessment and communication of physiologic and behavioral parameters and patterns assists patients with diabetes with the optimization of their glycemic control. The method and system may uses all available sources of information about the patient; (i) EO Data (e.g. self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and CMG), (ii) Insulin Data (e.g. insulin pump log files or patient treatment records), and (iii) Patient Self Reporting Data (e.g. self treatment behaviors, meals, and exercise) to: retroactively assess the risk of hypoglycemia, retroactively assess risk-based reduction of insulin delivery, and then report to the patient how a risk-based insulin reduction system would have acted consistently to prevent hypoglycemia.

Abstract: A method, system and related computer program product for tracking the probability of hypoglycemia from routine self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) data in patients with diabetes. A specific bivariate probability distribution of low BG events based jointly on the Low BG Index (LBGI) and the Average Daily Risk Range (ADRR) is used to predict hypoglycemia probability of occurrence from inputted SMBG data. The SMBG data is retrieved from a series of SMBG data of a patient available from the patient's glucose meter and allows tracking of the probability for future hypoglycemia over a predetermined duration, e.g. a 24 or 48 hour period. The tracking includes presentation of visual and/or numerical output, as well as construction of hypoglycemia risk trajectories that would enable warning messages for crossing of predefined thresholds, such as 50% likelihood for upcoming hypoglycemia below 50 mg/dl.
