INSULIN BOLUS CALCULATOR FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

This invention relates to a device for improved blood glucose control. The device consists of an application implemented on a mobile communication device utilizing blood glucose prediction and bolus insulin calculation algorithms. Said invention captures through its input means time and details of events such as food intake, exercise, medication taken (insulin), blood glucose levels and other user specific parameters such as sensitivity to insulin and carbohydrates, bodyweight, activity level etc. Said invention will then utilize the algorithms to calculate the type and measure of corrective action necessary to control the blood glucose level. The suggestion is displayed on said output means of the device. The typical configuration of said invention is a mobile phone executing a software application utilizing the resources of the communication device. The information is entered by using the keypad while results are displayed on the display of the mobile communication device. By using the device regularly, the insulin regime of its user can be improved enabling better blood glucose control thereby reducing the diabetic complications associated with hyper- and hypo-glycemia.
