a glucose sensor,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to, in response to the determination that the meal event is occurring, instruct the glucose sensor to output a glucose level of the patient at a first rate that is higher than a second rate at which the glucose sensor outputs the glucose level of the patient when the meal event is not occurring.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
determine an amount of carbohydrates the patient is to eat during the meal event and a number of bites the patient will take during the meal event; and
based on the determination of the amount of carbohydrates the patient is to eat and the number of bites the patient will take, output instructions to cause the insulin delivery device to deliver a micro-bolus or a series of micro-boluses of insulin therapy during the meal event.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein to output the instructions to cause the insulin delivery device to deliver the series of micro-boluses, the one or more processors are configured to output instructions to cause the insulin delivery device to deliver the series of micro-boluses with every detected bite or in regular intervals of time.
12. A method comprising:
