Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for calculating an expected peak blood glucose level of user during a post-prandial period, based on a quantity of carbohydrates to be ingested. The user's expected peak blood glucose levels for slow, medium and fast acting carbohydrates are calculated. The results are presented to the user to allow the user to make an informed decision regarding the type of meal to be ingested.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method, implemented in an automatic drug delivery system, for determining insulin resistance of a user and adjusting parameters of the medication delivery algorithm of the automatic drug delivery system based on the determined insulin resistance. A self-guided test is administered similar to the Kraft test which determines if the quantity of insulin delivered during a post-prandial period after ingestion of a quantity of fast-acting carbohydrates is sufficient to lower the user's blood glucose level to a baseline level.

Abstract: A multispectral sensing device includes a first die, including silicon, which is patterned to define a first array of sensor elements, which output first electrical signals in response to optical radiation that is incident on the device in a band of wavelengths less than 1000 nm that is incident on the front side of the first die. A second die has its first side bonded to the back side of the first die and includes a photosensitive material and is patterned to define a second array of sensor elements, which output second electrical signals in response to the optical radiation that is incident on the device in a second band of wavelengths greater than 1000 nm that passes through the first die and is incident on the first side of the second die. Readout circuitry reads the first electrical signals and the second electrical signals serially out of the device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method implementing a software-based method for detecting or confirming the detection of occlusions in the fluid path of an automatic drug delivery system. The invention uses real time glucose readings from a continuous glucose monitor in collaboration with past insulin delivery history and user indications of ingestion of carbohydrates, to determine cases where the user's glucose concentration is not being sufficiently impacted by the expected insulin delivery, which may indicate a significant pump site issue.

Abstract: A support frame attachable to a pressurized gas cylinder pallet is disclosed. The support frame includes an adjustable first support member having a first brace and a second brace and a second support member having a third brace that extends from the first support member. The first support member is adjustable to move the first and second brace into engagement with the pallet and the third brace is slidable along the second support member to also move the third brace into engagement with the pallet. The three points of contact stabilize the support frame on the pallet such that a manifold can be connected to the support frame for connection to the cylinders on the pallet. Also disclosed is a kit including the support frame and the manifold.
