Methods and devices for minimally burdensome blood glucose management for insulin-requiring diabetes
Some embodiments include burden-free insulin delivery systems and methods. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump; receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor; determining an insulin delivery amount based on the previous insulin delivery data and the estimated glucose data to bring the estimated glucose data closer to a target glucose value without using any user-specific behavioral data physically entered by a user through a user interface of the user device within a previous period of time, the previous period of time being less than six hours; and communicating the insulin delivery amount to the insulin pump.
1. A method comprising:
receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump;
receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor;
determining an insulin delivery amount based on the previous insulin delivery data and the estimated glucose data to bring the estimated glucose data closer to a target glucose value without using user-specific physiological data that is physically entered by a user through a user interface of a device within a previous period of time, the previous period of time being more than 60 minutes and less than 6 hours; and
communicating the insulin delivery amount to the insulin pump.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the previous insulin delivery data includes the amount of insulin delivered to the user over a period of time.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the insulin delivery data is received from the insulin pump via Bluetooth.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the estimated glucose data is received from the continuous glucose monitor via Bluetooth.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user-specific physiological data comprises data selected from the list consisting of one or more of a glucose value, an estimated glucose value, a ketone measurement, an insulin delivery trend, physical activity data, movement data, and exertion data.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the period of time is between 2 and 15 minutes.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the previous period of time comprises 3 hours.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the previous period of time comprises 1 hour.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the insulin delivery amount comprises an insulin correction to a basal insulin rate.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user device and the insulin pump comprise a single device.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a mobile computing device, cause the mobile computing device to:
receive previous insulin delivery data from an insulin pump;
receive estimated glucose data from a continuous glucose monitor;
determine an insulin delivery amount based on the previous insulin delivery data and the estimated glucose data to bring the estimated glucose data closer to a target glucose value without using user-specific data that is physically entered by a user through a user interface of the mobile device within the previous period of time, the previous period of time being more than 60 minutes and less than 6 hours; and
communicate the insulin delivery amount to the insulin pump.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the user-specific data comprises either user-specific behavioral data or user specific physiological data.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the user-specific data comprises data selected from the list consisting of one or more of a mealtime announcement, a meal carbohydrate content estimate, an exercise announcement, and a sleep announcement.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the user-specific data comprises data selected from the list consisting of one or more of a glucose value, an estimated glucose value, a ketone measurement, an insulin delivery trend, physical activity data, movement data, and exertion data.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the previous period of time comprises 3 hours.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the previous period of time comprises 1 hour.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the insulin delivery amount comprises an insulin correction to a basal insulin rate.
