Patent ID: 7912684

Claim:
A diabetes care management system for managing blood glucose levels associated with diabetes, comprising: a computing device, comprising: a memory configured to store (i) a plurality of optimal blood glucose values at a plurality of times, (ii) a plurality of measured blood glucose values of a patient at said times, (iii) a plurality of insulin values at said times, and (iv) a plurality of optimal insulin values at said times; a microprocessor, in communication with said memory, said microprocessor programmed to (A) generate a plurality of scaling factors customized to said patient each in response to a change in any one of said insulin values or said measured blood glucose values at any one of said times and (B) calculate a future blood glucose value based on (i) a plurality of differentials, one of said differentials calculated as one of said scaling factors multiplied by differences between one of said insulin values and one of said optimal insulin values, (ii) a sum of said differentials plus (iii) a difference between one of said measured blood glucose values and a corresponding one of said optimal blood glucose values; and a display configured to display said future blood glucose value; and an insulin delivery device configured to deliver insulin in response to said future blood glucose value, wherein the system is configured to monitor and control the blood glucose levels on a regular basis by the patient outside of a medical clinic.
