A diabetes care management system for managing blood glucose levels
associated with diabetes, comprising a computing device and an insulin
delivery device. The computing device generally includes (i) a memory
comprising one or more optimal blood glucose values, one or more insulin
dose values of a patient, one or more measured blood glucose values, and
one or more scaling factors for weighting the impact on a future blood
glucose value and that are customizable to an individual patient to
predict the effect on the blood glucose of insulin dose actions performed
by the individual patient, (ii) a microprocessor, in communication with
the memory, programmed to calculate a further value, the further value
being based on the insulin dose values, the optimal blood glucose values,
and the scaling factors, (iii) a display configured to display
information according to the further value, and (iv) a housing, wherein
the memory and the microprocessor are housed within the housing, thereby
providing a hand-held, readily transportable computing device. The
insulin delivery device may deliver insulin in response to information
associated with the further value.
