A method of managing use of an insulin infusion device are provided. The method receives glucose data for a user of the infusion device, wherein the glucose data indicates blood glucose levels of the user for a period of time during which the insulin infusion device is regulating delivery of insulin to the user. The received glucose data is received to detect certain event occurrences, which may be indicative of a correctable basal rate setting of the insulin infusion device and/or indicative of potential maladjustment of a user-specific setting of a bolus calculator setting of the insulin infusion device. The method outputs a recommendation to adjust the basal rate setting and/or the bolus calculator setting as needed to address the detected event occurrences.

A therapeutic food composition for treatment of diabetic patients to diminish fluctuations in blood sugar levels and prevent hypoglycemic episodes, comprising per unit about 20-50 grams of nutrients including a slowly absorbed or digested complex carbohydrate, preferably cornstarch; a more rapidly absorbed complex carbohydrate; protein; and fat, but substantially no simple sugars. Diabetic patients may be treated to diminish blood sugar fluctuations and prevent hypoglycemia via the administration of the novel food composition as an evening or pre-bedtime snack or during the daytime hours to patients receiving insulin therapy or engaging in activities that might provoke hypoglycemia.

Methods are disclosed for treating a patient with Type 2 diabetes to decrease hypoglycemic episodes and/or to diminish fluctuations in blood glucose outside of the normal range, comprising administering to said patient, in a therapeutically-effective amount, a food composition that includes a slowly absorbed complex carbohydrate such as uncooked cornstarch. Further disclosed is a method of suppressing appetite in a patient with Type 2 diabetes comprising administering to the subject, in an effective appetite suppressing amount, a food composition that includes a slowly absorbed complex carbohydrate such as uncooked cornstarch. In preferred embodiments, the food composition is in the form of a bar.

A method of managing use of an insulin infusion device is presented here. The method identifies bolus calculator event data from glucose data for a user of the infusion device. The bolus calculator event data corresponds to use of a bolus calculator that calculates bolus dosage recommendations based on a user entered carbohydrate consumption value, a user entered current blood glucose value, a user specific carbohydrate ratio value, and a user specific insulin sensitivity value. The method filters the bolus calculator event data to remove glucose data associated with certain conditions, and analyzes the filtered data to detect an event occurrence that is indicative of potential maladjustment of the carbohydrate ratio value or the insulin sensitivity value. The method outputs a recommendation to adjust the carbohydrate ratio value or the insulin sensitivity value, based on characteristics of the detected event occurrence.
