Abstract

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include an insulin delivery system that includes an insulin delivery device, a user interface that includes multiple user-selectable icons or buttons each representing different meal characteristics, memory to store one or more user-specific dosage parameter, and a processor in communication with the memory and adapted to receive blood glucose data. The processor may also be adapted to determine initial meal characteristics associated with each of the user-selectable icons or buttons based on at least one of the user-specific dosage parameters. The processor may also be adapted to update the meal characteristics associated with each of the user-selectable icons or buttons based upon the blood glucose data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for managing insulin therapy of a person with diabetes (PWD), the system comprising:
a remote user interface device comprising an insulin therapy management application, wherein the insulin therapy management application is configured to store one or more user-specific dosage parameters in a memory of the remote user interface device, and wherein the insulin therapy management application includes a bolus calculator; and
an accessory for an insulin delivery device and in wireless communication with the insulin therapy management application of the mobile device, the accessory comprising:
a user interface comprising a plurality of user-selectable icons, each user-selectable icon representing meal characteristics, each meal characteristic of the meal characteristics of a single user-selectable icon being associated with a time of day, wherein the user-interface is configured to receive, via the plurality of user-selectable icons, input for the bolus calculator;
a controller comprising:
at least one processor configured to receive blood glucose data from a glucose monitor, the processor being further configured to:
responsive to the received blood glucose data, present, on the user interface, a dosage recommendation with the plurality of user-selectable icons;
responsive to a selection of a user-selectable icon of the plurality of user-selectable icons, identify the input associated with the selection of the user-selectable icon of the plurality of user-selectable icons;
provide the input to the bolus calculator;
receive, from the bolus calculator, an updated dosage recommendation to account for the meal characteristics associated with the selected user-selectable icon; and
update the presented dosage recommendation on the user interface based on the updated dosage recommendation,
wherein responsive to a determination that a dosage was administered above or below the updated dosage recommendation, the processor is further configured to adjust the meal characteristics associated with the time of day of the selected user-selectable icon.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to detect an amount of insulin remaining in the insulin delivery device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the insulin therapy management application is configured to provide a dose reminder regarding a most recent dosage of the insulin delivery device.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the dose reminder is provided via one or more of an audible alert, a haptic alert, or a visual alert.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the visual alert is displayed on the user interface.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the accessory comprises a rechargeable or a non-rechargeable battery.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the insulin therapy management application is configured to update settings of the accessory.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the insulin delivery device comprises an insulin pen, and wherein the accessory comprises a pen cap.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the meal characteristic comprises a meal size associated with the time of day.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of user-selectable icons comprises a first user-selectable icon associated with a first meal size, a second user-selectable icon associated with a second meal size, and a third user-selectable icon associated with a third meal size.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein adjusting the meal characteristic associated with the time of day of the selected user-selectable icon further comprises increasing the meal size associated with the time of day of the selected user-selectable icon.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein adjusting the meal characteristic associated with the time of day of the selected user-selectable icon further comprises decreasing the meal size associated with the time of day of the selected user-selectable icon.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the meal size is further associated with a number of carbohydrates.
