Patent ID: 7766831

Claim:
A system for determining postprandial glucose concentration, said system comprising: a processor adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to calculate postprandial glucose values based on a therapeutic action scheme and each of: a preprandial glucose concentration measurement by self-monitoring of glucose; an effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose increase; an estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal; an effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose decrease; and an insulin dosage; wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to account for a margin of error for the self-monitored preprandial glucose concentration measurement in the calculation; wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to account for an error associated with at least one of: the effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose concentration increase; the estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal; the effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose concentration decrease; and the insulin dosage; and wherein a trend of a continuous blood glucose monitoring is considered as follows: Glucose (mg/dl) 241- 301- Trend <61 61-80 81-120 121-160 161-200 201-240 300 360 UU 0 Y +1Y +2Y +3Y +4Y +5Y +6Y U 0 −1Y Y +1Y +2Y +3Y +4Y +5Y = 0 −1Y Y +1Y +2Y +3Y +4Y +5Y D 0 −2Y −1Y Y +1Y +2Y +3Y +4Y DD 0 −3Y −2Y −1Y Y +1Y +2Y +3Y and wherein the trends are defined as follows: Very Fast glucose increase >+2 mg/dl/min UU Fast + (1-2) mg/dl/min U Slow changes <±1 mg/dl/min = Fast decrease − (1-2) mg/dl/min D Very Fast decrease >−2 mg/dl/mim DD.
