OPEN-LOOP INSULIN DELIVERY BASAL PARAMETERS BASED ON INSULIN DELIVERY RECORDS

Abstract:

Disclosed are techniques and a device operable to determine a total amount of insulin delivered to the user over a predetermined time period. The total amount of insulin includes a total basal dosage delivered in basal dosages and a total bolus dosage delivered in bolus dosages over the predetermined time period. A proportion of the total amount of insulin delivered to the user provided via the total basal dosage amount over the predetermined time period is calculated. In response determining the proportion of the total amount of insulin attributed to the total basal dosage amount of insulin exceeds a threshold, an average basal dosage to be delivered within a subsequent time period that is approximately equal to the threshold may be determined. An instruction may be generated and output to deliver a modified basal dosage that substantially maintains the average basal dosage over the subsequent time period.
