Claim One:
1. A computerized glucose adjustment system for intravenously controlling a patient's blood chemistry on a real time basis, said system comprising: a glucose sensor measuring a patient's glucose level; a pump connected to a source of insulin and a source of dextrose for distributing insulin and dextrose'into a patient's bloodstream; a computer processor in electronic communication with said sensor and said pump, said processor receiving an electronic signal from said sensor for calculating the patient's real time average glucose level over a specified time period; a glucose control module stored in said processor for sending output signals to said pump for controlling the rate at which said pump distributes insulin and dextrose into the patient, wherein said glucose control module comprises pump controlling commands to (i) determine where the patient's real time average blood glucose level lies along a continuum of glucose values; (ii) track the rate at which the average blood glucose level is changing over time; and (iii) iteratively adjust the dextrose flow rate and insulin flow rate into the patient's body to adjust the average glucose level closer to a known normal glucose range.
