  • Publication number: 20210220559
    Abstract: Some embodiments include burden-free insulin delivery systems and methods. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump; receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor; determining an insulin delivery amount based on the previous insulin delivery data and the estimated glucose data to bring the estimated glucose data closer to a target glucose value without using any user-specific behavioral data physically entered by a user through a user interface of the user device within a previous period of time, the previous period of time being less than six hours; and communicating the insulin delivery amount to the insulin pump.

  • Publication number: 20210205536
    Abstract: Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a user involves determining a current value for a physiological condition of the user influenced by the fluid violates a first threshold value, determining a predicted value for the physiological condition of the user violates a second threshold value, and automatically altering operation of the infusion device to modify delivery of the fluid to the user after determining the predicted value violates the second threshold value when the current value violates the first threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11033682
    Abstract: A method of insulin delivery, the method may include obtaining one or more blood glucose readings of a user, and, based on the blood glucose readings, generating a set of insulin delivery actions that may include delivery of a baseline basal rate or predefined variations of the baseline basal rate. The method may also include monitoring previous insulin delivery actions to the user to determine whether the previous insulin delivery actions include insulin beyond a threshold amount, where the previous insulin delivery actions may include delivery of the baseline basal rate or predefined variations of the baseline basal rate, and, based on the previous insulin delivery actions including insulin beyond the threshold amount, adjusting the set of insulin delivery actions.

  • Publication number: 20210060245
    Abstract: A method may include delivering insulin, using an insulin pump and a controller, over a first diurnal time period based on a baseline basal insulin rate stored in memory. The controller may receive blood glucose data to control delivery of insulin via the insulin pump in amounts variable from the baseline basal insulin rate to control blood glucose levels for a person with diabetes (PWD). The method may also include modifying the baseline basal insulin rate stored in the memory for a second diurnal time period that is at least 20 hours after the first diurnal period based on an amount of insulin actually delivered during the first diurnal time period.

  • Publication number: 20210030955
    Abstract: A method may include displaying to a user an interface at which the user inputs a fear of hypoglycemia index (FHI), the FHI corresponding to an acceptable probability of a blood glucose level being below a threshold blood glucose level. The method may also include receiving blood glucose data for a person with diabetes (PWD). The method may additionally include calculating a probability of the PWD having a blood glucose level below the threshold blood glucose level based on the variability of the received blood glucose data. The method may also include setting one or more target blood glucose levels to align the probability of the PWD having a blood glucose level below the threshold blood glucose level with the acceptable probability associated with the user input FHI. The method may additionally include delivering insulin, using the insulin delivery device, based on the target blood glucose level.

  • Publication number: 20200376197
    Abstract: A method includes receiving up-to-date blood glucose data for a PWD, determining basal insulin dosages for the PWD based on a baseline basal rate, delivering the basal insulin dosages to the PWD, modifying a target blood glucose level based on variability of blood glucose data for the PWD, receiving a temporary override indicating a user preference to reduce the likelihood that the PWD has a hypoglycemic event or a user preference to reduce the likelihood that the PWD has a hyperglycemic event, determining a temporary target blood glucose level based on the input—greater than the modified blood glucose level if the preference is to reduce the likelihood of a hypoglycemic event—lower than the modified target blood glucose level if the preference is to reduce the likelihood that of a hyperglycemic event. The method includes delivering basal insulin for the temporary period of time based on the temporary target.
