Abstract:
A method for confirming effectiveness of therapy provided by an insulin infusion system comprising a computing device communicatively coupled to an insulin delivery pump and a blood glucose sensor, is provided. In response to a corrective action for a detected abnormality in a blood glucose level of a patient, the method monitors a sequence of blood glucose levels of the patient, following the corrective action, by the computing device via the blood glucose sensor; detects an indication that the corrective action is effective to correct the abnormality, by the computing device, wherein the indication comprises a change of direction in the sequence of blood glucose levels, wherein a first trend in the sequence of blood glucose levels shifts at the indication to create a second trend in blood glucose levels, the second trend progressing in an opposite direction of the first trend; and initiates presentation of an alert in response to the detected indication, by the computing device via a communicatively coupled display device.
