a dosing controller in communication with the glucometer, the dosing controller including a data processing device and non-transitory memory in communication with the data processing device, the dosing controller:

receiving blood glucose measurements of a patient from the glucometer;

receiving patient information; and

selecting a subcutaneous insulin treatment from a collection of subcutaneous insulin treatments based on the blood glucose measurements and the patient information, the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment includes one or more of a subcutaneous standard program, a subcutaneous program without meal boluses, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program without carbohydrate counting, a meal-by-meal subcutaneous program with carbohydrate counting, and a subcutaneous program for non-diabetic patients, wherein during the standard subcutaneous program, the dosing controller:

determines a blood glucose type of the received blood glucose measurement;

determines a correction insulin dose based on the blood glucose type by calculating:

CB x =(BG x −BG Target )/CF;

wherein CB x is the correction dose based on blood glucose type X, BG x is the blood glucose measurement, BG Target is a target blood glucose value of a patient, and CF is a correction factor; and

when the determined blood glucose type is one of a pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement, a pre-lunch blood glucose measurement, or a pre-dinner blood glucose measurement:

determines if a subsequent blood glucose measurement associated with a subsequent blood glucose type has been received from the glucometer:

when the subsequent blood glucose measurement associated with the subsequent blood glucose type has been received, determines an adjustment factor for adjusting a next day's recommended meal bolus for the determined blood glucose type governed by the blood glucose measurement for the subsequent blood glucose type; and

determines the next day's recommended meal bolus at the time of day associated with the determined blood glucose type by multiplying a current day's recommended meal bolus associated with the determined blood glucose type times the adjustment factor; and

transmits the correction insulin dose to an administration device in communication with the dosing controller, the administration device comprising:

a doser; and

an administration computing device in communication with the doser, the administration computing device configured to cause the doser to administer a number of units of insulin to the patient using the correction insulin dose.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller determines a pre-meal correction bolus by calculating:

CB=(BG−BG Target )/CF

wherein BG is the blood glucose measurement, and BG Target is a target blood glucose of the patient.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller:

receives a governing blood glucose value; and

determines the adjustment factor based on the received governing blood glucose value.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller:

receives a governing blood glucose value;

determines the governing blood glucose value is within a threshold range of values; and

sets the adjustment factor to a preconfigured adjustment factor based on the threshold range of values.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller:

receives a governing blood glucose value;

determines the governing blood glucose value is within one of multiple pre-configured ranges of values; and

sets the adjustment factor to a pre-configured adjustment factor associated with the pre-configured range of values that includes the governing blood glucose value.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller determines a Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio based on the adjustment factor by calculating:

CIR=(CIR Previous )/AF;

wherein CIR is the Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio, CIR Previous is a previously determined Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio, and AF is the adjustment factor.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blood glucose type is associated with a blood glucose time associated with a time of measuring the blood glucose measurement, the blood glucose type selected from the group consisting of a: midsleep blood glucose measurement, a pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement, a pre-lunch blood glucose measurement, a pre-dinner blood glucose measurement, and a bedtime blood glucose measurement, wherein the midsleep, pre-breakfast, pre-lunch, pre-dinner, and bedtime blood glucose measurements are scheduled in a daily repetitive rotational order.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller:

determines if a pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement has been received at the data processing device from the glucometer; and

when the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement has been received:

selects a governing blood glucose as a lesser one of a previous midsleep blood glucose measurement or the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement;

determines the adjustment factor for adjusting a current day's recommended basal dose based on the selected governing blood glucose measurement;

retrieves a previous day's bed time recommended basal dose; and

determines the current day's recommended basal dose by multiplying the adjustment factor times the previous day's bed time recommended basal dose, the current day's recommended basal dose corresponding to an insulin dose of long-acting insulin to be administered to the patient at a configurable frequency of one, two, or three times per day.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the dosing controller, when the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement has not been received:

blocks a basal dose recommendation; and

transmits a warning to a display in communication with the dosing controller, the warning indicating the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement has not been received and the blocked basal dose recommendation.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller:

receives a pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement from the glucometer;

selects a governing blood glucose as one of a previous midsleep blood glucose measurement or the received pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement;

determines the adjustment factor for adjusting a current day's recommended basal dose based on the selected governing blood glucose measurement;

retrieves a previous day's bed time recommended basal dose; and

determines the current day's recommended basal dose by multiplying the adjustment factor times the previous day's bed time recommended basal dose, the current day's recommended basal dose corresponding to an insulin dose of long-acting insulin to be administered to the patient at a configurable frequency of one, two, or three times per day;

wherein the governing blood glucose is selected as the previous midsleep blood glucose measurement when the previous midsleep blood glucose measurement is less than the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement; and

wherein the governing blood glucose is selected as the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement when the breakfast blood glucose measurement is less than the previous midsleep blood glucose measurement unless the previous midsleep blood glucose measurement was accompanied by a correction insulin dose exceeding three units of insulin and an elapsed time between the correction insulin dose and the pre-breakfast blood glucose measurement is less than three hours.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein during the subcutaneous program for non-diabetic patients, the dosing controller:

for each blood glucose measurement received by the dosing controller from the glucometer that is less than or equal to a threshold value:

determines new currently-recommended insulin doses by multiplying all currently-recommended insulin doses by a dose reduction factor comprising a value less than one; and

recalculates a total daily dose of insulin as a sum of all the new currently-recommended insulin doses.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein during the subcutaneous meal-by-meal without carb-counting program, the dosing controller:

determines a recommended meal bolus for use throughout the day; and

for each meal, adjusts the meal bolus by multiplying an immediately previous recommended meal bolus times an adjustment factor governed by a blood glucose measurement received after an immediately previous meal associated with the immediately previous recommended meal bolus.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein during the subcutaneous meal-by-meal with carb-counting program, the dosing controller:

determines a carbohydrate-insulin ratio for use throughout the day;

for each meal, adjusts the carbohydrate-insulin ratio by dividing an immediately previous carbohydrate-insulin ratio associated with an immediately previous meal by an adjustment factor governed by a blood glucose measurement received after the immediately previous meal;

for an amount of carbohydrates associated with each meal, determines a recommended meal bolus for each meal by dividing the associated amount of carbohydrates by the associated adjusted carbohydrate-insulin ratio.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing controller transmits the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment to the administration computing device of the administration device in communication with the dosing controller, the administration computing device configured to cause the doser to administer insulin specified by the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment.
