  • Publication number: 20230330335
    Abstract: An insulin management method implemented by an insulin delivery device is provided. The method includes detecting a starting activity associated with preparation of use of the insulin delivery device in the form of an automatic insulin delivery device attachable to a user's body for a duration of a fasting period within an overall time period. The method includes initiating automated delivery of insulin in the form correction bolus doses in response to periodically received blood glucose measurements during the fasting period. Other methods, devices and systems are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230330336
    Abstract: An insulin management method is provided. The method includes providing an insulin delivery device, wherein the insulin delivery device is in the form of an automatic insulin delivery device attachable to a user's body for the duration of a fasting period. The method includes delivering insulin from the insulin delivery device during the fasting period within an overall time period in the form of correction bolus doses of insulin in response to received blood glucose measurements. The insulin delivery device refrains from administering basal insulin at a preset or default rate or in a preset or default pattern. Insulin is received by the user from a non-fasting insulin management modality during a non-fasting period within the overall time period and the non-fasting insulin management modality provides at least one of a basal dose of insulin and bolus doses of insulin. Other methods, devices and systems are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230330334
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an insulin management method implemented by an insulin delivery system is provided. The method includes determining an assumed insulin on board based on an assumed external dose calculated to correct an initial blood glucose value of the user to a target blood glucose. The method includes delivering insulin from an insulin delivery device with the insulin in the form of a plurality of correction bolus doses during a fasting period in response to received blood glucose measurements, the correction bolus doses compensated for by a determined insulin on board, wherein for at least a first correction bolus dose of the plurality of correction bolus doses the determined insulin on board equals the assumed insulin on board. Other systems, devices and methods are also provided.
