Abstract

Techniques related to temporary setpoint values are disclosed. The techniques may involve causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode. Additionally, the techniques may involve obtaining a second setpoint value. The second setpoint value may be a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, and the second setpoint value may be greater than the first setpoint value. The techniques may further involve causing operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.

Claims (37)

1. A processor-implemented method comprising:

causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during the operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode;

receiving a second setpoint value, the second setpoint value being a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, the second setpoint value being greater than the first setpoint value; and

responsive to receiving the second setpoint value, causing the fluid delivery device to exit the closed-loop mode and causing the operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after the period of time, causing the operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically delivering fluid based on the first setpoint value.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining user input including information indicative of the period of time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second setpoint value is associated with a planned period of exercise.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte concentration value is an estimated blood glucose value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the analyte concentration value is obtained from a continuous glucose sensor.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid delivery device is an insulin infusion device.

8. 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:

causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during the operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode;

receiving a second setpoint value, the second setpoint value being a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, the second setpoint value being greater than the first setpoint value; and

responsive to receiving the second setpoint value, causing the fluid delivery device to exit the closed-loop mode and causing the operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processor-readable storage media further store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

after the period of time, causing the operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically delivering fluid based on the first setpoint value.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processor-readable storage media further store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

obtaining user input including information indicative of the period of time.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second setpoint value is associated with a planned period of exercise.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the analyte concentration value is an estimated blood glucose value.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the analyte concentration value is obtained from a continuous glucose sensor.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the fluid delivery device is an insulin infusion device.

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

causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during the operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode;

receiving a second setpoint value, the second setpoint value being a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, the second setpoint value being greater than the first setpoint value; and

responsive to receiving the second setpoint value, causing the fluid delivery device to exit the closed-loop mode and causing the operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.

16. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , further storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

after the period of time, causing the operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically delivering fluid based on the first setpoint value.

17. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , further storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:

obtaining user input including information indicative of the period of time.

18. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein the second setpoint value is associated with a planned period of exercise.

19. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein the analyte concentration value is an estimated blood glucose value.

20. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 19 , wherein the analyte concentration value is obtained from a continuous glucose sensor.
