Patent number: 11660394Abstract: A method of controlling an insulin infusion device involves controlling the device to operate in an automatic basal insulin delivery mode, obtaining a blood glucose measurement for the user, and initiating a correction bolus procedure when: the measurement exceeds a correction bolus threshold value; and a maximum basal insulin infusion rate is reached during the automatic basal insulin delivery mode. The correction bolus procedure calculates an initial correction bolus amount, and scales the initial amount to obtain a final correction bolus amount, such that a predicted future blood glucose level resulting from simulated delivery of the final correction bolus amount exceeds a low blood glucose threshold level. The final amount is delivered to the user during operation in the automatic basal insulin delivery mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Louis J.
