Abstract:
An automated method and system of diabetes control. The method includes establishing a blood glucose target for an insulin user, measuring an existing blood glucose level for the insulin user, and inputting the existing blood glucose level into a computer processor formed to execute an algorithm designed to calculate a corrective amount of insulin to be administered intravenously in an integrated basal-bolus manner to the insulin user if the existing blood glucose level exceeds the blood glucose target. The algorithm is based on a plurality of factors that contribute to a non-linear glucose response. The method further includes automatically delivering the corrective amount of insulin to the insulin user, and further repeating the measuring, inputting, and delivering steps one or more times to maintain the insulin user within the blood glucose target range.
