A controller for an insulin infusion device includes a processor device and a memory element that cooperate to provide a processor-implemented closed-loop insulin limit module. The insulin limit module is operated to obtain: a fasting blood glucose value of a user; a total daily insulin value of the user; and fasting insulin delivery data that is indicative of insulin delivered to the user during a fasting period. The insulin limit module calculates a maximum insulin infusion rate for the user based on the fasting blood glucose value, the total daily insulin value, and the fasting insulin delivery data. The maximum insulin infusion rate is applicable during a period of closed-loop operation of the insulin infusion device.

Processor-implemented methods of controlling an insulin infusion device for a user are provided here. A first method obtains and analyzes calibration factors (and corresponding timestamp data) for a continuous glucose sensor, and regulates entry into a closed-loop operating mode of the infusion device based on the calibration factors and timestamp data. A second method obtains a most recent sensor glucose value and a target glucose setpoint value for the user at the outset of the closed-loop mode. The second method adjusts the closed-loop insulin infusion rate over time, in response to the sensor glucose value and the setpoint value. A third method calculates an upper insulin limit that applies to the insulin infusion rate during the closed-loop mode. The insulin limit is calculated based on a fasting blood glucose value of the user, a total daily insulin value of the user, and fasting insulin delivery data for the user.
