Claim 13:
14. An article for use with a patient, with a blood glucose monitoring device, and with an infusion device, the article comprising:
a non-transitory storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions stored thereon which are executable by a special purpose computing apparatus to:
compute a profile of a blood glucose concentration of the patient based, at least in part, on a probability density function of a plurality of blood glucose concentration values collected at the blood glucose monitoring device;
determine a metric based, at least in part, on a convolution of a cost or loss function and the profile, wherein the metric is for balancing short-term and long-term risks associated with a therapy, and wherein the metric is representative of a glycemic health of the patient, the cost or loss function being based, at least in part, on a log-square operation and being further based, at least in part, on a parameter selected to balance Spearman rank coefficients with hypoglycemic-based metrics and hyperglycemic-based metrics, wherein the log-square operation is applied to at least one of a computed mean of the plurality of blood glucose concentration values or a measure of a statistical dispersion of the plurality of blood glucose concentration values; and
affect an insulin therapy applied to the patient by the infusion device based, at least in part, on the metric.
