Patent ID: 7937255

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 carbohydrate intake values at said times, (iii) a plurality of measured blood glucose values of a patient at said times, and (iv) a plurality of optimal carbohydrate intake 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 in response to changes in any one of said carbohydrate intake values or said measured blood glucose values at any one of said times and (B) calculate a plurality of future blood glucose values 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 carbohydrate intake values and one of said optimal carbohydrate intake 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 an insulin delivery device configured to deliver insulin in response to said patient initiating said delivery after reading one of said future blood glucose values.
