Methods For Suppressing Appetite And Enhancing Exercise And Recovery
US Patent:
6534487, Mar 18, 2003
Filed:
Aug 3, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/368063
Inventors:
Francine R. Kaufman - Los Angeles CA
Assignee:
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
A61K 31715
US Classification:
514 60, 514 54, 514866, 426808, 424439, 424441
Abstract:
A method of suppressing appetite in a subject in need thereof comprises administering to said subject, in an effective appetite suppressing amount, a food composition that includes a slowly absorbed complex carbohydrate such as uncooked cornstarch. A method of enhancing exercise performance or recovery in a subject in need thereof comprises administering to said subject, in an amount effective to enhance exercise performance or recovery, a food composition that includes a slowly absorbed complex carbohydrate such as uncooked cornstarch.
Diabetes Therapy Management System For Recommending Adjustments To An Insulin Infusion Device
US Patent:
2013033, Dec 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 5, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/910773
Inventors:
Brian T. Kannard - Mountain View CA, US
Francine R. Kaufman - Los Angeles CA, US
Francine R. Kaufman - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
A61M 5/172
US Classification:
604504, 604 66
Abstract:
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.
Method Of Using A Therapeutic Food Composition To Diminish Blood Sugar Fluctuations In Diabetic Patients
US Patent:
5605893, Feb 25, 1997
Filed:
Apr 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/418210
Inventors:
Francine Kaufman - Los Angeles CA
Assignee:
Children's Hospital of Los Angeles - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
A61K 31715
US Classification:
514 60
Abstract:
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 For Regulating Blood Glucose And Appetite Suppression In Type 2 Diabetics
US Patent:
6905702, Jun 14, 2005
Filed:
Nov 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/707378
Inventors:
Francine R. Kaufman - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
Children's Hospital Los Angeles - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
A61K047/00, A61K031/715
US Classification:
424439, 514 60
Abstract:
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.
Diabetes Therapy Management System For Recommending Bolus Calculator Adjustments
US Patent:
2013034, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 5, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/910766
Inventors:
Brian T. Kannard - Mountain View CA, US
Francine R. Kaufman - Los Angeles CA, US
Francine R. Kaufman - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
MEDTRONIC MINIMED, INC. - Northridge CA
International Classification:
A61M 5/172
US Classification:
604503, 604 66
Abstract:
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.
