System and method for actively managing type 2 diabetes mellitus on a personalized basis

摘要

A system (180) and method for actively managing Type 2 diabetes mellitus on a personalized basis is provided. A model of glycemic effect for a Type 2 diabetic patient (31) for digestive response (61) is established. The digestive response model (61) is adjusted for a degree of insulin resistance (194) experienced by the patient (31). A rise in postprandial blood glucose (121) through food ingestion of a planned meal (102) is estimated in proportion to the adjusted digestive response model (61). The tool also allows for the avoidance of hypoglycemic episodes by medications.
