Patent ID: 8454510

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of determining an assessed carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIR new ) of a patient, the method being performed by execution of computer program instructions by one or more processors, the method, comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, an initial set of values comprising at least a normoglycemia glucose level (BG 0 ). a target glucose level (TBG), an insulin sensitivity (IS), and, an estimated carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIR old ); receiving, by one or more processors, a Carb value representing a planned meal of a content having a known carbohydrate load (Carb); receiving or determining, by one or more processors, a test bolus value based on the determined initial set of values and the Carb value; receiving or determining, by one or more processors, a post-prandial glucose level (CBG) of the patient subsequent to administration of the test bolus and consumption of the planned meal; determining, by one or more processors, the assessed carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIR new ) of the patient based on the initial set of values and the post-prandial glucose level (CBG) of the patient; wherein the determination of the post-prandial glucose level (CBG) is repeated, by one or more processors, until either: a substantially constant glucose level (BG 1 ) is achieved, and/or a normal post-prandial glucose level is achieved.
