  • Publication number: 20220226566
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to start a basal insulin rate test when prompted by a user, an input configured to receive sampled blood glucose data of a patient that is obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration during delivery of insulin according to a specified basal insulin rate pattern, and a controller communicatively coupled to the input and the user interface. The controller includes an insulin calculation module configured for determining at least one of an amount of basal insulin over-delivered and an amount of basal insulin under-delivered during the basal insulin rate test in trying to meet a target blood glucose baseline. Other devices and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10052049
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a pump, a user interface, and a controller communicatively coupled to the pump and the user interface. The controller is adapted to receive information relating to a blood glucose level of a user, determine whether the blood glucose level differs from a target blood glucose level by a threshold value, and selectively provide or delay provision of an alert notifying the user to check the user's blood glucose level. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.
