Abstract

A medical device for supporting health control is provided. An example medical device can include a receiver unit configured to receive information regarding a current location of the medical device or a current time-zone of the medical device, a user interface, a storage unit storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the medical device to perform operations. Examples of operations include determining a current location of the medical device and/or a current time zone of the medical device from the received information, providing a dose helper functionality employing a titration method to determine and/or recommend a basal long-acting insulin dose value or a corrective amount of basal long-acting insulin to be administered by a patient to the patient based on a measured physiological parameter, information about hyperglycemic events, the determined current location and/or current time zone of the medical device.
