Patent ID: 7912688

Claim:
A medical device for diabetes management, comprising: a memory configured to store (i) a plurality of optimal blood glucose values at a plurality of times, (ii) a plurality of self-care values of a patient at said times, (iii) a plurality of measured blood glucose values at said times, and (iv) a plurality of optimal self-care 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 self-care 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 self-care values and one of said optimal self-care 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.
