Abstract: Methods for setting a basal rate profile for an insulin pump with an input unit and a calculation unit are disclosed. A number of interpolation nodes for the basal rate profile are defined by means of the input unit of the insulin pump. A continuous function with respect to the interpolation nodes, which images the interpolation nodes and any previously stored basal rates, is formed using the calculation unit of the insulin pump, and a temporal sequence of basal rates to be released by the insulin pump during specific time intervals is generated from the continuous function using the calculation unit of the insulin pump.

Abstract: Embodiments of an assessment method for processing a signal corresponding to a glucose concentration and performing a retrospective analysis includes the steps of: a) initiating a first trigger, wherein the first trigger defines the beginning of a segment of a continuous measurement of glucose concentration or define the first of a series of spot measurements of glucose concentration; b) collecting data of the continuous measurement or the series of spot measurements of glucose concentration to be analyzed, wherein the collected data relates to a glucose concentration excursion corresponding to a reaction to a relevant event such as a meal or physical activity; c) analyzing the collected data initiated by a second trigger, wherein the second trigger defines the end of the collected data to be analyzed, wherein a measure for a grading of the excursion is determined from the collected data, and d) displaying the result of the analysis.
