A system for implementing a wide-range of glycemic control protocols
(e.g., Tight Glycemic Control protocols) in an automated, semi-closed or
closed loop manner thereby eliminating common sources of system error is
provided herein. More specifically, the system can include a blood
glucose measuring device in communication with a wide-range of databases
and/or interfaces thereby allowing for typically independent steps such
as patient testing, result determination, protocol adjustment
(suggestions as well as actual calculations of new dosages), meal
information, scheduling of future testing in light of test results, and
administration of medicine to be performed automatically in a semi-closed
or closed loop manner. Furthermore, the system provides for ultimate
flexibility by allowing a protocol administrator to continuously add,
subtract, and/or modify various steps of the protocol while maintaining
the integrity and safety of the system. Additionally, methods of
implementing such glucose control protocols are also provided herein.
