Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may determine anticipated basal insulin delivery action to a user from an insulin delivery device over a future time window. Indications of the anticipated basal insulin delivery action over the future time window may be output to the user. The exemplary embodiments may determine the anticipated basal insulin delivery action over the future time window based on a rate of change (ROC) of glucose level of the user by the insulin delivery device, a most recent (“current”) glucose level for the user and insulin on board (IOB) for the user. The exemplary embodiments may also determine whether the user is likely to experience a undesired high glucose level (e.g., hyperglycemia) and/or an undesired low glucose level (e.g., hypoglycemia) during the future time window. The exemplary embodiments may output recommendations based on the projected glucose levels of the user over the future time window.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method, implemented in an automated drug delivery system for determining a risk of a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic condition based on risk factors calculated each time a new blood glucose reading is received and providing an alert to the user should a risk be determined. The risk factors may include the current CGM reading, the trend of CGM readings, the amount of insulin-on-board of the user and the accuracy of previous alerts provided to the user. The method may be modified to provide the risk of hypoglycemia if the user were to engage in exercise or other physical activities.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments may employ a glucose prediction model (GPM) that is tailored to a user to account for insulin sensitivity or insulin insensitivity. The exemplary embodiments may predict future glucose levels based on past glucose levels for the user. Specifically, the GPM in exemplary embodiments may predict the future glucose level of the user as a weighted sum of most recent glucose level readings from the user. The exemplary embodiments may employ linear regression analysis to determine the values of the weights. These weights customize the GPM of the user based on the user's most recent glucose level history. Due to the customization, the GPM may more accurately predict future glucose levels of the user. As a result, the AID may exhibit better glucose level control for the user. The GPM of the exemplary embodiments may be updated on an ongoing basis.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide an automated approach for adjusting the medicament delivery rate to the user when operating in an open loop manner (“open mode”). The approach relies upon an insulin delivery history to the user make adjustments to the medicament delivery rate in the open mode. In particular, the exemplary embodiments may look at the medicament delivery history while the medicament delivery device is operating in a closed loop manner (“closed mode”) to determine how to adjust the open mode medicament delivery rate.

The exemplary embodiments leverage this knowledge to adjust the open mode medicament delivery rates. Medicament bolus deliveries in open mode may also be adjusted in like fashion.
