1. A method of operating a blood glucose meter, the method comprising:
- receiving and processing time data transmitted wirelessly with the blood glucose meter;
performing a plurality of tests with the blood glucose meter;
correlating a plurality of glucose concentration measurement values derived from the tests with particular points in time or intervals of time during the day to establish a predetermined range of typical glucose measurement values associated with a particular point in time or time interval; and
alerting the user when a measured glucose value falls outside of the predetermined range of typical glucose measurements.

2. A method of monitoring and treating diabetes with the assistance of a blood glucose meter, the method comprising:
-
receiving and processing time data transmitted wirelessly with the blood glucose meter; performing at least one test with the blood glucose meter thereby creating a blood glucose concentration measurement value; correlating the glucose concentration measurement value with the particular point in time during the day when the test was performed; and automatically identifying the glucose concentration measurement value as being associated with either a pre-prandial test or post-prandial test based at least in part on the correlated time associated with the value, or prompting the user to identify the glucose concentration measurement value as being associated with either a pre-prandial test or post-prandial test. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4)

5. A method of monitoring and treating diabetes with the assistance of a blood glucose meter, the method comprising:
-
receiving and processing time data transmitted wirelessly with the blood glucose meter; performing a plurality of tests with the blood glucose meter; correlating glucose concentration measurement values derived from the tests with the particular points in time during the day when they were taken to establish a data set; downloading the data set from the blood glucose meter; deriving trends based on the downloaded glucose concentration values and associated time data; and prescribing treatment based at least in part on the trends.
