Embodiment Construction

[0016] Devices, systems, and techniques for managing a patient's glucose levels are described in this disclosure. For diabetics, carbohydrate consumption can raise glucose levels to higher levels than non-diabetics, because diabetics tend to be insulin resistant or unable to produce enough insulin to counteract the effects of carbohydrates. To maintain glucose levels within a desired range (eg, a predetermined target range having an upper limit that is a predetermined number of values ​​below a hyperglycemic glucose level and a lower bound that is a predetermined number of values ​​above a hypoglycemic glucose level) , diabetics often receive insulin from an external source (eg, an insulin pump or by injection) to keep glucose levels within a desired range. Because the amount of carbohydrate consumed by the patient can affect the patient's glucose levels, the amount of insulin to be delivered can be based on the amount of carbohydrate consumed by the patient.

Abstract

Techniques related to glucose level management without carbohydrate counting are disclosed herein. The techniques may include obtaining contextual information of the meal, predicting an amount of glucose to be absorbed into the blood flow of the patient over a duration of time due to eating the meal based on the contextual information of the meal, determining one or more insulin amounts to counteract the effect of the predicted amount of glucose, and determining one or more insulin amounts to counteract the effect of the predicted amount of glucose. And effecting the insulin therapy based on output information indicative of the determined one or more insulin amounts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to medical systems, and more particularly to medical systems for therapy for diabetes. Background technique [0002] A patient with diabetes typically receives insulin from an insulin delivery device (eg, a pump or injection device) to control the level of glucose in his or her bloodstream. Naturally produced insulin may fail to control glucose levels in a diabetic patient's bloodstream due to insufficient insulin production and / or due to insulin resistance. To control glucose levels, a patient's therapy routine may include basal and bolus doses of insulin. During fasting, basal doses tend to keep blood sugar levels at a consistent level. The bolus dose may be delivered to the patient particularly at or near mealtime or at other times when there may be relatively rapid changes in glucose levels. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] Disclosed herein are techniques related to the management of glucose levels without carbo...
