Abstract

A system includes one or more processors and one or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of receiving, via a user interface, confirmation input that indicates user acceptance of a blood glucose (BG) measurement generated by a BG meter device, in response to receiving the confirmation input, using the BG measurement for performing both glucose sensor calibration and bolus calculation, and causing delivery of a bolus based on outputting a delivery command in accordance with the bolus calculation.

Claims (39)

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

receiving, via a user interface, confirmation input that indicates user acceptance of a blood glucose (BG) measurement generated by a BG meter device;

in response to receiving the confirmation input, using the BG measurement for performing both glucose sensor calibration and bolus calculation; and

causing delivery of a bolus based on outputting a delivery command in accordance with the bolus calculation.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the glucose sensor calibration.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the bolus calculation.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user acceptance indicates that the BG measurement is not erroneous.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processor-readable storage media further store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

prior to receiving the confirmation input, receiving a user-entered value of the BG measurement via the user interface and causing presentation of the user-entered value and a user confirmation prompt.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processor-readable storage media further store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

prior to receiving the confirmation input, obtaining the BG measurement from the BG meter device and causing presentation of the BG measurement and a user confirmation prompt.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein causing delivery of the bolus comprises causing delivery of the bolus based on outputting the delivery command in accordance with the bolus calculation and the glucose sensor calibration.

9. A processor-implemented method comprising:

receiving, via a user interface, confirmation input that indicates user acceptance of a blood glucose (BG) measurement generated by a BG meter device;

in response to receiving the confirmation input, using the BG measurement for performing both glucose sensor calibration and bolus calculation; and

causing delivery of a bolus based on outputting a delivery command in accordance with the bolus calculation.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the glucose sensor calibration.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the bolus calculation.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the user acceptance indicates that the BG measurement is not erroneous.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

prior to receiving the confirmation input, receiving a user-entered value of the BG measurement via the user interface and causing presentation of the user-entered value and a user confirmation prompt.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

prior to receiving the confirmation input, obtaining the BG measurement from the BG meter device and causing presentation of the BG measurement and a user confirmation prompt.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein causing delivery of the bolus comprises causing delivery of the bolus based on outputting the delivery command in accordance with the bolus calculation and the glucose sensor calibration.

17. One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:

receiving, via a user interface, confirmation input that indicates user acceptance of a blood glucose (BG) measurement generated by a BG meter device;

in response to receiving the confirmation input, using the BG measurement for performing both glucose sensor calibration and bolus calculation; and

causing delivery of a bolus based on outputting a delivery command in accordance with the bolus calculation.

18. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 17 , wherein the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation are both performed without one of:

any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the glucose sensor calibration;

any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the bolus calculation; or

any user input specifying use of the BG measurement for the glucose sensor calibration and the bolus calculation.

19. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 17 , wherein the user acceptance indicates that the BG measurement is not erroneous.

20. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 17 , further storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

prior to receiving the confirmation input, receiving a user-entered value of the BG measurement via the user interface and causing presentation of the user-entered value and a user confirmation prompt.
