Analysis of data generated by insulin pump using LabVIEW environment

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by impaired insulin secretion or action affecting around 200 million people worldwide. Type 1 diabetes makes up 10% of all diabetes cases. Currently, the most physiological way of insulin delivery involves the use of an insulin pump, which administers insulin in a continuous manner. During an outpatient visit insulin pump data are read and analyzed to optimize treatment and improve patients metabolic control. There are commercial software companies producing insulin pumps which present data in a report format. The aim of this project was to write a program in a LabVIEW environment which would analyze the insulin pump data. The program includes structured bookmarks, statistics on glucose (different systems of measurement), insulin, nutritional information, uses advanced tools in the pump, and presents the entire recorded history of pump data (commercial version statistics use only two week time intervals). Implemented as an innovative feature that compares the blood glucose meter to indicate the continuous glucose monitoring system. The software built for this purpose can be used in diabetes clinics to analyze insulin pump data and to research on the application of new diabetes technology. The current version can be treated as a foundation for possible further expansion of the program functionality.
