BLOOD GLUCOSE TRACKING APPARATUS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. One or more digital storage media having software program code embedded therein for instructing one or more processors to perform a method of analyzing glucose data measured with a glucose monitoring apparatus which includes a measurement module comprising a glucose test sensor receptacle in a glucose measurement system and a hand-held processing device, the measurement module and processing device forming a detachably integrated, hand-held unit for performing and analyzing a glucose measurement after the test sensor is inserted and a glucose-containing sample is applied to the test sensor, the processing device configured to synchronize with a PC, the method comprising:
- (a) creating a replica database on the PC of the glucose data stored in a device database on the processing device; and
(b) synchronizing the glucose data to a PC database program, and wherein the synchronizing includes;
(c) reading the glucose data stored in the device database on the processing device;
(d) matching the data to corresponding data in the replica database;
(e) format converting the data; and
(f) writing the data to the replica database.

Abstract
A measurement module for glucose testing includes a glucose testing measurement module housing, a test strip receptacle formed in the housing, and a connector portion formed in the housing and shaped to permit mechanical removable attachment of the housing to a hand-held computer. Electronics determine the amount of glucose present in a sample of body fluid, when the test strip is positioned in the receptacle and the body fluid is placed on a test strip, and communicate the glucose amount to the hand-held computer via the connector portion.
