You know what I want? I want a REALLY smart pump/meter/bolus calculator that learns. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
What if you could tell the device what you’re eating, and based on your pre-meal bg and post meal bg, it could better anticipate what you need next time!
Example:
Bg 120
Insert bowl of ice cream, 30g – regular bolus for carbs, say 3units (IC: 1:10)
1 hour later – bg 82
3 hours later – bg 140
4 hours later – bg 180 – correction given
5 hours later – bg 240 – Correct again
Next time you eat ice cream, what if you enter the food, and that it’s 30g. And your device remembers what happened last time and suggests something like:
Dose 4.5 units
Combo bolus 60/40
3 hours
And based on however this goes, the device makes adjustments for the next time. I think it’s going to be awhile before we have a cure, but why couldn’t someone invent a device that remembers types of foods, results, and provides advice based on past experience.
Just saying, but whoever is smart enough to make this happen would probably make a killing, and have the adoration of parents all over the world...
That would be amazing!
