1. A system for assisting a person to maintain a blood glucose level between predetermined limits, comprising:
- electronic apparatus including;
data entry means enabling entering into the apparatus nutritional data of foods consumed, or proposed to be consumed, by the person, and the time consumed or proposed to be consumed;
a display;
a clock;
a memory for storing a glycemic response model representing time-varying changes in glycemic response for the person based on representative foods having representative nutritional contents;
a data processor;
and a software program executable by said data processor;
to process the nutritional data and times thereof entered via said data entry means with respect to said stored glycemic response model;
to generate a time-varying glycemic response curve based on the entered nutritional data;
and to display said generated glycemic response curve with an indication of said predetermined range of blood glucose level, and thereby to alert the person with respect to any deviation of the generated glycemic response curve from said predetermined range.

Abstract
A system for assisting a person to maintain a blood glucose level between predetermined limits comprises: an electronic device, comprising a display, a clock, a memory, and a processor; and a software program executable by the processor of the electronic device, adapted to receive nutritional data of food consumed by the person, adapted to calculate the blood glucose level for the person using the nutritional data and a glycemic response model for the person, and further adapted to present the blood glucose level to the person on the display of the electronic device.

15. A method of assisting a person to maintain a blood glucose level within a predetermined desired range, comprising:
-
storing in a data processor a glycemic response model representing, time-varying changes in glycemic response for the person based on representative food items having representative nutritional contents;
entering into the data processor nutritional data of foods consumed, or proposed to be consumed, by the person, and the times thereof;
processing said nutritional data and times thereof with respect to said stored glycemic response model to generate a time-varying glycemic response curve based on the entered nutritional data;
and displaying said generated glycemic response curve with an indication of said predetermined range of blood glucose level to alert the person with respect to any deviations in the generated glycemic response curve from said predetermined range. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
