DECISIONS SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES

摘要

A decision support system includes a measurement device configured to continuously measure a physiological parameter of a patient. An insulin delivery device provides insulin to the patient per an initial basal profile and the parameter measurements. A storage device holds historical data of insulin delivery to the patient. A processor determines deviations of the delivery of insulin from the basal profile for one or more time period(s) using the historical data, computes a respective first basal-profile adjustment for each of the one or more time period(s) using the determined deviations, and annunciates the computed first basal-profile adjustment(s). A method of recommending a basal-rate adjustment includes measuring the parameter, infusing the patient with insulin and storing the historical data, determining the deviations from the basal profile, computing the first basal-profile adjustments, and annunciating the computed first basal-profile adjustment(s).
