1. A method of managing blood glucose data, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of blood glucose data collected over a predetermined period of time;
estimating an idiosyncratic HbA1c level from the plurality of blood glucose data using a first predetermined algorithm;
calculating an idiosyncratic variability index of glycemia from the plurality of blood glucose data using a second predetermined algorithm; and
comparing the idiosyncratic variability index of glycemia and the idiosyncratic HbA1c level to at least one exclusion criteria.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. Methods and systems in accordance with the present invention provide information relating to variability of glucose levels and hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Such information is based on time-stamped blood glucose data obtained from a meter or the like and actual measurements of HbA1c levels are not required.
