COMPENSATION FOR MISSING READINGS FROM A GLUCOSE MONITOR IN AN AUTOMATED INSULIN DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

Exemplary embodiments may address the problem of missing blood glucose concentration readings from a glucose monitor that transmits blood glucose concentration readings over a wireless connection due to problems with the wireless connection. In the exemplary embodiments, an automated insulin delivery (AID) device uses an estimate in place of a missing blood glucose concentration reading in determining a predicted future blood glucose concentration reading for a user. Thus, the AID device is able to operate normally in generating insulin delivery settings despite not receiving a current blood glucose concentration reading for a current cycle. There is no need to suspend delivery of insulin to the user due to the missing blood glucose concentration reading.
