Apparatus and methods are operative to probe the condition of a sensor either initially, at any point thereafter or continuously during a continuous sensor operation for measuring an analyte in a bodily fluid (such as performed by, e.g., a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor). Results of the probe may include calibration indices determined from electrical signals obtained during the probe. The calibration indices may indicate whether in-situ adjustment of the sensor's calibration should be performed either initially and/or at random check points. Probing potential modulation parameters also may be used during analyte calculations to reduce the effects of lot-to-lot sensitivity variations, sensitivity drift during monitoring, temperature, interferents, and/or the like.

Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods that can provide a delayed bolus calculator for use in closed loop diabetes therapy that can account for additional factors not taken into account in regular meal bolus calculations when a user wants to deliver a meal bolus a period of time after a meal was consumed. A delayed bolus calculator can enable the user to enter a period of time since the meal was consumed in addition to the number of carbohydrates consumed in a meal. This enables the system to account for the amount of increased insulin from the closed loop algorithm in response to the meal and/or the time since the meal to ensure that the risk of hypoglycemia is mitigated while still reducing hyperglycemia.

Techniques are used for adaptation of drug-administration parameters that control insulin delivery in a blood glucose control system. One technique provides long-term adaptation of a nominal basal infusion rate, adapting to longer-term changes in a patient's needs due to growth, illness, hormonal fluctuations, physical activity, aging, etc. Another technique provides adaptation of priming dose size at mealtimes for overall better glycemic control and also adapting to longer-term changes in a patient's needs. Adaptation calculations use a receding-horizon window of recent values of the adapted parameter. Doses of a counter-regulatory agent (e.g., glucagon) may also be delivered in response to information about estimated accumulation of exogenously infused insulin (subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, or intravenously) and/or the effect insulin might have on glucose levels (blood glucose concentration or interstitial fluid glucose concentration).

To better understand the impact that meals have on the blood glucose level, some individuals with diabetes have begun recording meals consumed over time. However, the relationship between meals consumed by an individual and the glycemic health state of the individual has been difficult to understand. Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for utilizing information regarding the meals consumed by an individual to manage the blood glucose level of the individual in a personalized manner. By consistently and properly attributing physiological responses represented as excursions in blood glucose measurements to meals, the relationship between these meals and the glycemic health state can be better understood. For example, by examining this relationship, a diabetes management platform may be able to identify appropriate recommendations for monitoring, managing, and/or improving the glycemic health state of an individual.

Apparatus and methods calculate and deliver doses of insulin and optionally glucagon into a subject. Online operation controls delivery of correction doses of insulin automatically in response to regular glucose measurements from a sensor, and offline operation calculates and delivers correction doses based on isolated glucose measurements and information gathered autonomously during preceding online operation. In another aspect, offline operation includes automatically calculating and administering meal doses based on information gathered autonomously during preceding periods of online operation. Both methods include generating relevant control parameters tailored to the individual and continually converged upon and potentially modulated during online operation. The control parameters are employed in real time during periods of offline operation to regulate glucose level without the need for user-provided control parameters such as correction factors and insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios.

A continuous glucose monitoring system may utilize externally sourced information regarding the physiological state and ambient environment of its user for externally calibrating sensor glucose measurements. Externally sourced factory calibration information may be utilized, where the information is generated by comparing metrics obtained from the data used to generate the sensor's glucose sensing algorithm to similar data obtained from each batch of sensors to be used with the algorithm in the future. The output sensor glucose value of a glucose sensor may also be estimated by analytically optimizing input sensor signals to accurately correct for changes in sensitivity, run-in time, glucose current dips, and other variable sensor wear effects. Correction actors, fusion algorithms, EIS, and advanced ASICs may be used to implement the foregoing, thereby achieving the goal of improved accuracy and reliability without the need for blood-glucose calibration, and providing a calibration-free, or near calibration-free, sensor.
