Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods incorporating an infusion pump and a CGM that can include software that automatically populates a blood glucose section of a bolus calculator with a most recent valid CGM value. The software can additionally be programmed to automatically populate the bolus calculator with a single CGM reading only when one or more predefined conditions are met that aid in mitigating the risk of inaccurate and/or invalid single CGM readings.

Methods of incorporating CGM data into diabetes therapy

A portable infusion pump can communicate with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to receive continuous feedback relating to a user's blood glucose level during insulin or other medicament therapy and can automatically deliver insulin to a user when the CGM data indicates a need for additional insulin. Because patient behavior can interfere with the accuracy and efficacy of such closed loop or semi-closed loop therapy, a system can employ various mechanisms for manual temporary suspension of closed-loop therapy when a patient is aware that current or future behavior may inhibit therapy.

Temporary suspension for closed-loop medicament therapy

Interactive program guide (IPG) data is delivered to a receiver from which a program guide can be retrieved. The IPG data includes schedule-data for each of a plurality of time slots, description-data for each of the plurality of time slots, and non-time-sensitive foundation data. The IPG data is delivered by the steps of: (a) delivering a plurality of segments of foundation data having a predetermined closed-loop order; (b) delivering the schedule-data segments for a first time slot; (c) delivering the description-data segments for a first time slot; (d) delivering the schedule-data segments and the description-data segments for each of the remaining time slots; (e) subsequent to the delivery of the first schedule-data segment for each time slot, during a gap of sufficient duration to enable the receiver to allocate memory space for storing all of the schedule-data segments for the time slot, delivering the next non-time-sensitive foundation-data segments in the predetermined order for use by the receiver; and (f) subsequent to the delivery of the first description-data segment for each time slot, during a gap of sufficient duration to enable the receiver to allocate memory space for storing all of the description-data segments for the time slot, delivering the next non-time-sensitive foundation-data segments in the predetermined order for use by the receiver. Subsequent to step (f), the next given number of foundation-data segments in the predetermined order are delivered until all of the foundation-data segments have been delivered at least twice.
