Patent ID: 8718943

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of assessing an insulin activity error and its effect on glucose levels, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of: measuring an amount of a fat metabolism analyte in a biological fluid sample and an amount of a glucose metabolism analyte in the biological fluid sample, determining, using a computer, a real insulin activity level, wherein the real insulin activity level comprises a reciprocal conversion of the amount of the fat metabolism analyte in the biological fluid sample, comparing, using the computer, the real insulin activity level with a theoretical insulin activity level to calculate the insulin activity error; and predicting, using the computer, a prospective glucose level using the amount of the glucose metabolism analyte in the biological fluid and the calculated insulin activity error, wherein a positive insulin activity error is predictive of a glucose level which is lower than that predicted by the theoretical insulin activity level, and wherein a negative insulin activity error is predictive of a glucose level which is higher than that predicted by the theoretical insulin activity level.
