BLOOD GLUCOSE RATE OF CHANGE MODULATION OF MEAL AND CORRECTION INSULIN BOLUS QUANTITY

Abstract:

Disclosed are a system, methods and computer-readable medium products that provide bolus dosage calculations by a control algorithm-based drug delivery system that provides automatic delivery of a drug, such as insulin or the like, based on sensor input. Blood glucose measurement values may be received at regular time intervals from a sensor. Using the blood glucose measurements, the control algorithm may perform various calculations and determinations to provide an appropriate bolus dosage. The appropriate bolus dosage may be used to respond to a trend in a trajectory of blood glucose measurements. In addition, a bolus dosage may also be determined by the disclosed device, system, method and/or computer-readable medium product in response to an indication that a user consumed a meal.
