Abstract
A method of computing an insulin bolus quantity when a measured glucose value in a current time interval exceeds a target glucose value for the current time interval and when a time duration of glucose lowering action of the bolus to be administered spans the current and a number of the next adjacent time intervals, may comprise determining a corresponding number of percentages of insulin action of the recommended bolus quantity that will each be used lowering the glucose level during a respective one of the number of time intervals, and computing the recommended bolus quantity as a function of the measured glucose value, the target blood glucose level for a last one of the number of next adjacent time intervals, the insulin sensitivities for the current and each of the number of next adjacent time intervals, and the corresponding number of percentages.
