  • Publication number: 20200305788
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting a standing insulin medicament dosage regimen for a subject. Fasting events are Device for adjusting a standing insulin regimen identified using autonomous timestamped glucose measurements of the subject in a first data set. A second data set, from one or more insulin pens used to apply the standing regimen, comprises records, each record comprising a timestamped event specifying an amount of injected insulin medicament. Each fasting event is characterized as adherent or nonadherent. A fasting event is adherent when the second data set includes one or more records that temporally and quantitatively establish adherence with the standing regimen during the fasting event. Conversely, a fasting event is nonadherent when the second data set fails to temporally and quantitatively establish adherence with the standing regimen.

  • Publication number: 20200227170
    Abstract: A device, system and method is provided for predicting risk of hypoglycemia and adjusting an insulin medicament dose size for a subject being on pen based multi-daily injections. A first algorithm is provided for computing a first insulin dose size based on a plurality of timestamped blood glucose (BG) measurements and insulin injected dose sizes. A risk prediction module is adapted to, based on machine learning algorithms, predict risk of hypoglycemia based on the timestamped BG measurements and calculate a second insulin dose size resulting in a non-hypoglycemic state. In case the second dose size is lower than the first dose size, the first dose size is automatically adjusted down to the second dose size and communicated as the recommended dose size to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190348164
    Abstract: A subject is prescribed short and long acting insulin medicament regimens. When a qualified fasting event occurs, the basal insulin sensitivity estimate of the subject is updated using (i) an expected fasting blood glucose level based upon the long acting insulin medicament dosing specified by the long acting regimen during the fasting event, (ii) glucose measurements contemporaneous with the fasting event and (iii) a prior insulin sensitivity factor. A basal insulin sensitivity factor curve is calculated from the updated basal insulin sensitivity estimate. A bolus insulin sensitivity estimate of the subject is updated upon occurrence of a correction bolus with a short acting insulin medicament using (i) an expected blood glucose level based upon the correction bolus, (ii) glucose measurements after occurrence of the correction bolus, and (iii) a prior insulin sensitivity factor. A bolus insulin sensitivity factor curve is calculated from the updated bolus insulin sensitivity estimate.

  • Publication number: 20190198148
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing short acting insulin medicament dosage timing relative to a meal event for a subject. Glucose measurements of the subject over a time course and the timing of the measurements are obtained. Meal events in the time course and information regarding when dosages were injected into the subject relative to the meal events is obtained. Bins, each for a different time range for when a dosage is injected relative to a meal event, are constructed. Each bin is assigned glucose measurements in one or more periods within the time course in which the subject injected the dosage within the time range associated with the bin. A glycaemic risk measure is determined for each bin with the assigned measurements and used to identify an optimal relative time range for the subject. This is communicated to a health care practitioner or to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190180856
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a short acting dosage for a prospective meal for a subject with a standing regimen are provided. The standing regimen comprises short acting and long acting regimens. Past records are obtained from insulin pens applying the standing regimen. Each record specifies an amount and type of medicament injected, the type being one of short and long acting, and a timestamp. Responsive to the prospective meal at time (t0), total insulin on board (IOBtotal) is calculated as the sum of IOBbolus and IOBbasal, with IOBbolus being the total amount of short acting medicament injected, indicated by records having timestamps within a duration of the short acting medicament to t0, and IOBbasal being the total amount of long acting medicament injected, indicated by records having timestamps within the duration of the long acting medicament to t0. IOBtotal serves to calculate the short acting dosage for the meal.

  • Publication number: 20190164641
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting a basal/bolus ratio in a standing insulin regimen for a subject that comprises daily amounts of basal and bolus insulin medicaments that define an initial basal/bolus ratio. A data set comprising glucose measurements of the subject with a respective timestamp for each such measurement over a time course is obtained. One or more fasting events are identified in the time course. A temporal glucose gradient is computed for each fasting event using the glucose measurements in the data set within the fasting event time period. Fasting event glucose gradients are used to determine whether to recommend adjustment to the basal/bolus ratio for the subject without change to the daily total insulin medicament. The recommended adjustment to the basal/bolus ratio is communicated when the determination is made to make the recommended adjustment to the basal/bolus ratio for the subject.
