Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for optimizing insulin dosages for diabetic subjects which includes a processor for calculating basal and bolus dosages to be recommended for meal types including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or at miscellaneous times. The bolus calculations are specifically directed to time periods which are taken from either pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime, mid-sleep or miscellaneous times. The processor calculates an optimized bolus for a specific time period and meal type based upon prior basal dosages, prior glucose doses, hypoglycemia thresholds, mid-point of target ranges, and subject insulin sensitivity factors. A display is provided to the subject for sensing the optimized insulin dosage recommended at a specific time period and for a specific meal type.
