1. A method for measuring glucose levels of a patient, comprising:

  • receiving, by a diabetes management device, from the patient an objective for a structured test;

    identifying, by the diabetes management device, a test template that corresponds to the objective from a plurality of predefined test templates, where the identification of a test template is in response to receiving an objective for the structured test from the patient and the identified test template specifies one or more collection events for obtaining blood glucose measurements;

    presenting, by the diabetes management device, the patient with a plurality of contextual criterion for the identified test template, where the presenting the patient with the plurality of contextual criterion is in response to receiving an objective for the structured test from the patient and the plurality of contextual criterion are associated with the identified test template and the plurality of contextual criterion differ amongst the test templates in the plurality of predefined test templates;

    receiving, by the diabetes management device, one or more contextual criterion selected by the patient from the plurality of contextual criterion;

    constructing, by the diabetes management device, a structured test in accordance with the selected contextual criterion and the identified test template, where the construction of the structured test is in response to receiving one or more contextual criterion and the structured test includes one or more collection events and a prompt of the patient to input information pertaining to the selected contextual criterion; and

    administering, by the diabetes management device, the structured test to the patient by prompting the patient to provide a sample of blood to a glucose meter,receiving, by the diabetes management device, data indicative of a glucose measurement for the patient in response to prompting the patient to provide a sample of blood;

    presenting, by the diabetes management device, a query to the patient for each contextual criterion in the structured test;

    receiving, by the diabetes management device, replies to the queries from the patient; and

    associating, by the diabetes management device, the replies with the data indicative of the glucose measurement in a memory of the diabetes management device.
