A system and a method for determining an assessed carbohydrate to insulin
ratio of a patient is described. The system and the method can comprise a
memory component adapted for storing an initial set of values comprising
at least one of a blood glucose level, a target blood glucose level, an
insulin sensitivity, and, an estimated carbohydrate to insulin ratio. The
system and the method can also comprise a bolus selection component
adapted for selecting a test bolus corresponding to the determined
initial set of values and a planned meal. In one implementation, the
bolus selection component can receive bolus dose input from a user. In
another implementation, the bolus selection component can estimate the
bolus dose using a set of available inputs (e.g. the amount of
carbohydrates in the planned meal). The system and the method can further
comprise a user interface component adapted for receiving a confirmation
that the test bolus has been administered to the patient. In some
implementations, the user interface component can be adapted for
selecting a meal of a known content.
