  • Publication number: 20180200439
    Abstract: Methods of insulin delivery may include obtaining one or more blood glucose readings from a flash glucose monitor, where the blood glucose readings may be obtained in response to a user invocation of the flash glucose monitor. The method may also include generating multiple insulin delivery profiles of insulin delivery actions over multiple diurnal time segments based on the one or more blood glucose readings. The method may additionally include selecting one of the delivery profiles that is projected to approximate a target blood glucose level, and delivering insulin according to the selected delivery profile. Systems may provide such insulin delivery.

  • Publication number: 20180200441
    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: 20180071456
    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 obtaining a sequence of measurements indicative of a condition of the user that is influenced by the fluid and modifying one or more unusable measurements in the sequence using one or more other usable measurements in the sequence to obtain a modified sequence of measurements. The method continues by determining a predicted value for the condition of the user at a time in the future based at least in part on the modified sequence of measurements and operating the infusion device in a manner that is influenced by the predicted value.

  • Publication number: 20170332952
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining blood glucose level readings over a diurnal period for each of a plurality of days and determining an estimated variability of the blood glucose levels over the diurnal period for the plurality of days. The method may also include modifying, based on the estimated variability of the blood glucose level, a target blood glucose level to a modified target blood glucose level, and delivering insulin, using an insulin pump, during the diurnal period based on the modified target blood glucose level.

  • Publication number: 20170232195
    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: 20170203038
    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: 20170203039
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170203036
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems of delivering infusion fluid (e.g., medication such as insulin) can detect, at multiple times during a dispensation period of time, a pressure level of the infusion fluid in an infusion fluid pathway, either directly or indirectly. Based on the detected pressure levels, one or more actual dispensation times that are after an intended dispensation time can be determined. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can use variable occlusion alarm thresholds, which can depend on variables such as an age of an infusion set and/or a current analyte level. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can automate medication delivery and use the actual dispensation times in a control algorithm determining medication deliveries.
