Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for improving glucose management through modeling of circadian profiles, comprising the steps of: assembling meal period data comprising, for each of a plurality of stated daily meal periods occurring over a recent observational time frame, at least two typical measurements of pre-meal and post-meal self-measured blood glucose; identifying diabetes medication dosed over the stated daily meal periods; organizing the assembled meal period data and the identified diabetes medication into a circadian profile for a diabetic patient; creating a model comprising expected blood glucose values and their predicted errors at each meal period from the self-measured blood glucose measurements in the circadian profile and visualizing the model of the expected blood glucose values and their predicted errors in a log-normal distribution; determining target ranges for blood glucose at each meal period and superimposing the target ranges over the expected blood glucose values; obtaining pharmacodynamics of the identified diabetes medication; and propagating an incremental change in dosing of the identified diabetes medication over a model day and adjusting the expected blood glucose values and their predicted errors in response to the suggested incremental dosing change, wherein the steps are performed on a suitably-programmed computer.
