SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED INSULIN DELIVERY FOR DIABETES THERAPY

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for automated insulin delivery that reduce a risk of hypoglycemia from automatically delivering correction boluses. Rather than automatically delivering a correction bolus when a current or future predicted glucose level of a user is over a high glucose threshold, the system can review additional factors to determine whether an automatic correction bolus is appropriate. For example, the system can be prevented from delivering an automatic correction bolus if the user's glucose levels are falling at greater than a predetermined rate and/or if a current glucose level is greater than a future predicted glucose level even if the user's current or predicted future glucose levels is over the high threshold.
