Abstract

A host-client data sharing system manages diabetes care data. A host database, preferably web or internet based, is implemented for storing diabetes care data relating to multiple diabetics. A client or local database stores the diabetes care data relating to multiple diabetics on a personal appliance such as a PC, or a portable or handheld microprocessor-based computing device. The host database uses multiple servers for handling client interactions with the system.

Claims

1-49. -49. (canceled)

50. A method of operating a diabetes care data management system having a display, a user interface, a processor, a memory and a user input device, the method comprising:

measuring diabetes care data of a user with a diabetes monitoring device;

associating the diabetes care data with an event;

displaying a report comprising the diabetes care data;

saving to the memory the report comprising the diabetes care data associated with the event.

51. The method of claim 50, further comprising separating the diabetes care data into one or more groups based on the event.

52. The method of claim 51, wherein the event comprises one or more of a date, a time, a time period, a sample site, a glucose reading, a glucose control reading, a time since last meal, a calibration code, an insulin dose, a meal value, an exercise session, a state of health, a health condition, a medication dose, a medical examination, a laboratory result, a ketone reading, a ketone control reading, and a note.

53. The method of claim 52, wherein the event comprises the date and the time.

54. The method of claim 53, wherein the one or more groups comprise a user selectable time period.

55. The method of claim 54, wherein the user selectable time period comprises a pre-meal time period and a post-meal time period.

56. The method of claim 54, wherein the user selectable time period comprises one or more of a pre-breakfast time period, a post-breakfast time period, a pre-lunch time period, a post-lunch time period, a pre-dinner time period, a post-dinner time period, a bed time period, and a sleep time period.

57. The method of claim 50, wherein the diabetes monitoring device comprises a blood glucose meter.

58. The method of claim 50, further comprising displaying a graphical user interface comprising a user selectable option.

59. The method of claim 58, further comprising highlighting the user selectable option.

60. The method of claim 58, wherein the user selectable option comprises a drop-down menu, an icon, a tab, a toolbar, a triangle, an up arrow, a down arrow, an OK button, or a cancel button.

61. The method of claim 58, wherein the user selectable option comprises a selectable date range for the report, and wherein the report comprises the diabetes care data within the selected date range.

62. The method of claim 58, wherein the user selectable option comprises a device setup selection.

63. The method of claim 50, further comprising indicating when the diabetes care data is outside the working range of the diabetes monitoring device.

64. The method of claim 50, further comprising generating the report based on selection criteria for application in the report.

65. The method of claim 64, wherein the selection criteria comprises patient profile information, demographic information, data event types, a range of values, dates, or combinations thereof.

66. The method of claim 50, where the report comprises an average of the diabetes care data.
