Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may provide an on-body medicament delivery system that provides basal delivery of a medicament to a type 2 diabetes patient and that automatically performs medicament titration for the patient. The medicament delivery system performs medicament titration based on glucose level readings for the patient. These glucose levels may be provided wirelessly from a glucose sensor, such as a continuous glucose monitor, or may be entered manually by the patient into a management device, such as a smartphone running an application that provides a user interface for the patient to enter the glucose level readings. The medicament delivery system adjusts the basal medicament delivery rate/dose based on the glucose level readings for the patient. The adjustments may be performed by a programmatic mechanism, such as by computer programming instructions executing on a processor.
