  • Patent number: 9892234
    Abstract: A method of administering insulin includes receiving subcutaneous information for a patient at a computing device and executing a subcutaneous outpatient program for determining recommended insulin dosages. The subcutaneous outpatient program includes obtaining blood glucose data of the patient from a glucometer in communication with the computing device, aggregating blood glucose measurements to determine a representative aggregate blood glucose measurement associated with at least one scheduled blood glucose time interval, and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate blood glucose measurement and the subcutaneous information. The method also includes transmitting the next recommended insulin dosage to a portable device associated with the patient. The portable device displays the next recommended insulin dosage.

  • Patent number: 9892235
    Abstract: A method of managing insulin includes receiving blood glucose measurements on a computing device from a glucometer. The blood glucose measurements are separated by a time interval. The method includes determining, by the computing device, an insulin dose rate based on the blood glucose measurements and determining a blood glucose drop rate based on the blood glucose measurements and the time interval. The method also includes determining a blood glucose percentage drop based on the blood glucose measurements. The method includes decreasing the time interval between blood glucose measurements by the glucometer when the blood glucose drop rate is greater than a threshold drop rate, and decreasing the time interval between blood glucose measurements by the glucometer when the blood glucose percentage drop is greater than a threshold percentage drop.

  • Patent number: 9886556
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170228518
    Abstract: A method of administering insulin includes receiving scheduled blood glucose time intervals and obtaining blood glucose data of a patient that includes blood glucose measurements, blood glucose times, and insulin dosages previously administered by the patient. The method also includes applying a set of filters to identify which of the blood glucose measurements associated with at least one of the scheduled time intervals are usable and which of the blood glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval are unusable. The method also includes aggregating the blood glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval identified as usable to determine a representative aggregate blood glucose measurement and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate blood glucose measurement and the insulin dosages previously administered by the patient.

  • Publication number: 20050049179
    Abstract: Method for digitally determining the daily insulin regimen for a diabetic patient. The invention divides the patient's day into adjustable time intervals containing basal insulin dosage rates and Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio(s) (for determining meal insulin doses). The invention identifies the Corrective Insulin doses over a time interval as an “error” in the Prescription Insulin (Basal Insulin+Meal Insulin). Methods involve first estimating the change to one of these two components of Prescription Insulin, and then determining the change to the other by subtracting from the error. One method estimates Change in Meal Insulin distributed among intervals proportional to old Meal Insulin. Another method lumps After-Meal Corrective Insulin together with Meal Insulin. Another method splits the interval at the After-Meal Corrective Dose and determines Basal from Time-Boundary Corrective Dose.
