First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to provide a safeguard in insulin dosing for a user with a diabetes management unit that includes a microprocessor coupled to a memory, display, clock, and user interface, the method comprising:
- selecting a time period in a day from a plurality of time periods in the day for insulin bolus dosing;
calculating, with the microprocessor, an insulin bolus for the user in the selected time period;
comparing, with the microprocessor, the selected time period with a current time period being kept by a clock of the microprocessor; and
annunciating a warning to the user when the selected period for the calculating is outside the current time period of the clock.

19. A diabetes management system comprising:
-
a glucose test strip; and a diabetes management unit comprising; a housing having a test strip port configured to receive the glucose test strip; a plurality of user interface buttons; a microprocessor coupled to the test strip port to provide data regarding an amount of glucose measured in a user'"'"'s physiological fluid deposited on the test strip, the microprocessor further coupled to a memory, and user interface buttons;
the microprocessor being programmed to;(a) allow a user to select a time period in a day from a plurality of time periods in the day for insulin bolus dosing; (b) calculate an insulin bolus for the user in the selected time period; (c) compare the selected time period with a current time period being kept by a clock of the microprocessor; and (d) annunciate a warning to the user when the selected period for the calculating is outside the current time period of the clock. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
