Abstract

Claims (42)

1. A method for providing a missed insulin bolus reminder, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor of a computing device, glucose data representative of sensed glucose levels of a patient from a continuous glucose monitoring sensor;

receiving, by the processor, insulin information related to insulin administered to the patient;

determining, by the processor, an occurrence of a meal;

identifying, by the processor, a portion of the glucose data as being temporally related to the meal;

detecting, by the processor, a pattern in the portion of the glucose data temporally related to the meal; and

providing, by the computing device, a warning to notify the patient of a missed insulin bolus when the detected pattern is indicative of a rapid rise in the glucose data and no insulin information is received.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the insulin information comprises receiving the insulin information from a dosing device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the occurrence of the meal is determined based on a user input of the meal via an input of the computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the occurrence of the meal is determined implicitly based on other collected data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the occurrence of the meal is determined based on occurrence of an event.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a recommendation based on the detected pattern.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the recommendation comprises a timing or a size of an insulin bolus.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the warning to notify the patient of the missed insulin bolus when no insulin information is received for a predetermined period of time.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the warning to notify the patient of the missed insulin bolus when no meal is determined for a predetermined period of time.

10. A system for providing a missed insulin bolus reminder, the system comprising:

a continuous glucose monitoring sensor configured to collect glucose data representative of sensed glucose levels of a patient; and

a computing device in communication with the continuous glucose monitoring sensor, wherein the computing device comprises:

a processor;

a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions configured to cause the processor to:

receive glucose data from the continuous glucose monitoring sensor;

receive insulin information related to insulin administered to the patient;

determine an occurrence of a meal;

detect a pattern in a portion of the glucose data temporally related to the meal; and

provide a warning to notify the patient of a missed insulin bolus when the pattern is indicative of a rapid rise in the glucose data and no insulin information is received.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the glucose data temporally related to the meal comprises glucose data in a period of time following the meal.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further caused to provide the warning to notify the patient of the missed insulin bolus when no insulin information is received for a predetermined period of time.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further caused to provide the warning to notify the patient of the missed insulin bolus when no meal is detected for a predetermined period of time.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further caused to provide a recommendation based on the detected pattern.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the recommendation comprises a timing or a size of an insulin bolus.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein receiving the insulin information comprises receiving the insulin information from a dosing device.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the occurrence of the meal is determined based on a user input of the meal via an input of the computing device.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the occurrence of the meal is determined based on occurrence of an event.

19. The system of claim 10 , wherein the computing device is a smartphone.

20. A computing device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions configured to cause the processor to:

receive glucose data from a continuous glucose monitoring sensor in communication with the computing device, wherein the continuous glucose monitoring sensor is configured to collect glucose data representative of sensed glucose levels of a patient;

receive insulin information related to insulin administered to the patient;

determine an occurrence of a meal;

detect a pattern in a portion of the glucose data temporally related to the meal; and

provide a warning to notify the patient of a missed insulin bolus when the pattern is indicative of a rapid rise in the glucose data and no insulin information is received.
