Method and system to provide personalized pharmaceutical compositions and dosages
View Patent ↗The invention provides a method for determining a suitable drug combination for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes by obtaining data from a Type 2 diabetes population in which all of the Type 2 diabetics are not taking any Type-2 diabetes drugs and obtaining reference levels of glucose supply and insulin demand parameters. Data from discrete samples of Type 2 diabetes populations in which all individuals are being treated with one or more Type 2 diabetes drugs at a therapeutic dose are also obtained, and the effects of the drugs on the glucose supply and insulin demand parameters are used to determine adjustment factors which represent the effect of each of the drugs at the therapeutic dosage, which are used to determined a ratio of a Glucose Supply Index (S) to an Insulin Demand Index (D). The ratio is further utilized in scoring cardiovascular risks for Type 2 diabetics and recommending therapeutic interventions.
1. A method for lowering cardiovascular risk for a Type 2 diabetic patient who is being treated with at least one anti-diabetes drug, the method comprising:
obtaining from the Type 2 diabetic a first biological sample at a first time point, and from the first biological sample
a) determining one or more physiological parameters and a ratio of a Glucose Supply Index (S) to an Insulin Demand Index (D) by determining (S) for the Type 2 diabetic patient calculated as follows:
1+[aggregate of carbohydrate exposure (CE)+hepatic glucose uptake (HGU)+hepatic gluconeogenesis (GNG) and+insulin resistance (IR) for the at least one drug],
and (D) calculated as follows:
1+[aggregate of peripheral glucose uptake (PGU)+peripheral insulin exposure (PIE) for the at least one drug];
to obtain an S/D ratio for the at least one drug in the Type 2 diabetic patient;
b) assign a first cardiovascular risk score for the Type 2 diabetic patient by summing values for one or more physiological parameters in look-up table provided in FIG. 6 and the S/D ratio;
c) obtaining a second biological sample at a second time point from the Type 2 diabetic and repeat steps a) and b) for the second biological sample to obtain a second cardiovascular risk score;
d) comparing the first cardiovascular risk score to the second cardiovascular risk score and determining from the comparing that the Type 2 diabetes patient is at greater cardiovascular risk, and administering to the Type 2 diabetes patient a drug, wherein the drug is pH-encapsulated glucose, wherein glucose is released at or above pH of 7.0.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pH encapsulated glucose is administered in combination with an additional agent selected from the group consisting of anti-diabetes drugs, hormones, GLP-1, lipids, proteins, amino-acids, other sugars or carbohydrates, and combinations thereof.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the ratio of S to D for a combination of the drugs is determined using a microprocessor.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the ratio of S to D for a combination of the drugs is determined using a programmable spreadsheet.
