Intelligent Devices A Smart Pen demonstrates possibilities for intelligent diabetes devicesby John Walsh, P.A., C.D.E. Smart Pen Online Slides
Sample Feedback From An Intelligent Device • You are having too many lows/highs at lunch • Over 2 weeks, 6 readings have been below 50 mg/dl • In the last x days, your BG pattern is better/worse • Your readings suggest you need more/less insulin • Discuss changing your basal rate (carb factor or correction factor) with your doctor right away • You often have lows-to-highs. Are you eating excess carbs for your lows? • Your current BG and BOB indicate you now need x.x units (or x grams of carb)
The Intelligent Pen • 300 personal carb selections with accurate carb counts • Carb factor (1:1 TO 1: 100) • Correction factor (1:4 to 1: 400) 5 sec microdraw BG meter 0.1 unit precision motor Non-volatile memory 3,000 events Bluetooth data transfer
SmartPen – Lab Results • Fast lab results without calling. Messaging also allows physician to make recommendations.
Smart Pen – Reminders • Useful reminders
SmartPen – Reminders And Appointments • Reminders for when lab tests should be done and allows convenient appointment changes.
SmartPen – Carb Database • Carb database for accurate carb counts.
SmartPen – Estimate Of Miscalculated Carb Count • A high glucose can be analyzed to determine the magnitude of the error
Suggestions to limit intake based on weight, calorie, or carb goals, or for specific amounts of carb needed for a given situation SmartPen – Carb Suggestions
SmartPen – Carbs Needed For Exercise • Recommended carb intake (or insulin reduction) to balance activity.
SmartPen – Low High Pattern Alert • Insulin dose suggestions and an alert about past overtreatment of lows.
Smart Pen – Low High Pattern Alert • An intelligent device can provide a person’s precise carb requirement when the blood glucose is tested.
SmartPen – Dose Changes Or Reminders • Dose recommendations and reminders
SmartPen – Dose Changes • New dose recommendations based on lab data, relative amount of correction boluses, and frequency of hypoglycemia
SmartPen – More Dose Changes • New insulin dose suggestions generated from current BG data and reduction of steroid dose.
SmartPen – Pattern Recognition • Insulin dose suggestions and an alert about past overtreatment of lows.
Smart Pen – Pattern Alert • Pattern alerts and advice
Summary • Intelligent devices are being evaluated and designed to improve BG control in diabetes with less effort. • Intelligent devices solve a critical problem: that the current treatment interval of 3 to 4 months between doctor’s visits is too long • Intelligent devices can deliver useful control advice at any time of day • Devices provide short treatment intervals and thereby shorten the time to goal
