Method And Glucose Monitoring System For Monitoring Individual Metabolic Response
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback, involving monitoring of glycemic response in a qualified subject, comprising:
- consecutively performing a plurality of measurements of a glucose level in the qualified subject by a measuring device;
in the measuring device generating first data corresponding to the measured glucose level;
transmitting the first data to an analysis device;
in the analysis device generating second data representing a glycemic response of the subject involving comparing a time-series of glucose measurements represented by the first data with a reference value for a fasting glucose level of the qualified subject;
comparing the second data with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the qualified subject, the individual glycemic response budget representing a total amount of individual glycemic response allowable for a certain time period; and
providing feedback corresponding to a result of the comparison on an output device.

Abstract
A system and a method for monitoring individual metabolic responses and generating nutritional feedback based on the monitored responses in a qualified subject are disclosed. Measurements of glucose level in the subject are consecutively performed by a measuring device to generate corresponding first data. Subsequently, data is transmitted to an analysis device, where second data representing glycemic responses is generated from a time-series of glucose level measurements represented by the first data. In a next step, the second data is compared with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the subject which represents a total amount of individual glycemic responses allowable for a certain time period. Finally, feedback corresponding to the result of the comparison is provided by an output device.

21. A computer program product including program code which when executed on an analysis device carries out the following steps:
-
generating second data representing a glycemic response of a qualified subject from first data, involving comparing a time-series of glucose measurements in a qualified subject, represented by the first data, with a reference value for the fasting glucose level of the subject; comparing the second data with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the qualified subject, the individual glycemic response budget representing a total amount of individual glycemic response allowable for a certain time period; and generating at least one quantity relating to nutritional feedback based on the result of the comparison.
