According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a device and method for determining an allowable amount of blood glucose (bG) of a patient is disclosed. The method further includes receiving a current bG measurement, determining a target bG value, and determining a correction delta bG value based on one or more advice history records. The method includes determining a correction meal rise value and determining a maximum allowed bG value based on the target bG value, the correction delta bG value, and the correction meal rise value. The method includes setting the allowable amount of bG value equal to the maximum allowed bG value when the current bG measurement is greater than the target bG value and determining the allowable amount of bG value using the target bG value and the correction delta bG value when the current bG measurement is less than the target bG value.

Handheld diabetes management device with bolus calculator

A method for operating a medical device includes activating a processor in the medical device in a low-power operating mode, measuring a first voltage level of the battery, applying at least one discharge pulse to the battery in response to the first voltage level of the battery being greater than a predetermined passivation minimum voltage threshold and less than a predetermined passivation maximum voltage threshold, measuring a second voltage level of the battery after the at least one discharge pulse, and operating the processor in the medical device in an increased-power operating mode to continue operation of the medical device only in response to the second voltage level being greater than or equal to a predetermined operating voltage threshold, the predetermined operating voltage threshold being greater than the predetermined passivation minimum voltage threshold and less than or equal to the predetermined passivation maximum voltage threshold.

Apparatus and method for battery passivation compensation in a medical device

According to some aspects of the present disclosure a method for presenting a GUI for modifying medical data on a handheld medical device is disclosed. The method includes determining a correction bolus amount and a meal bolus amount for the patient. The method also includes presenting the GUI on a display of the medical device and presenting the correction bolus amount, the meal bolus amount and a total bolus amount in the GUI. The method also includes presenting a correction bolus amount modification field and a meal bolus amount field in the GUI. The correction bolus amount modification field and the meal bolus amount modification field allow the patient to provide input to modify the correction bolus amount and meal bolus amount, respectively. The method further includes receiving the input and generating an advice history record based on the input.

Graphical user interface for a handheld diabetes management device with bolus calculator

A method of checking the integrity of a dynamic link library (DLL) file called by an application being executed on a handheld medical device is described. The method includes loading a DLL from a read only memory (ROM) to a random access memory (RAM) beginning at a fixed location in the RAM. The DLL includes a first routine for performing a safety critical function of the handheld medical device and a second routine for performing a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) once the DLL is loaded to the RAM. The method includes selectively executing the first routine from the RAM. The method includes selectively executing the second routine from the RAM including: calculating a check value based on the DLL; comparing the check value with a predetermined check value; and indicating that an error is present when the check value is different than the predetermined check value.

Dynamic link library integrity checking for handheld medical devices

A method for monitoring blood glucose (bG) levels of a diabetic user. The method may be implemented on a non-transitory computer readable medium adapted to run on a processing subsystem, the processing subsystem forming a portion of a handheld diabetes management device for monitoring the bG levels of a diabetic user and determining a correction bolus to be provided to the user. The method may comprise using a memory to store information in a plurality of different time blocks. The information may include a plurality of differing user defined health events that each include a predetermined associated percentage value set by the user by which a correction bolus calculation will be modified to account for one of an increase or a decrease in insulin associated with each one of the defined health events. The processing subsystem may be used to communicate with the memory and to obtain the information and to calculate therefrom the correction bolus.
