Apparatus and System for Diabetes Management
First Claim
1. An apparatus for diabetes management, comprising:
- a body housing;
(i) at least a first memory for storing data inputs corresponding at least to one or more components in a patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen and the patient'"'"'s blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times;
(ii) a processor operatively connected to the at least first memory, the processor programmed at least to determine from the data inputs corresponding to the patient'"'"'s blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times whether and by how much to vary at least one of the one or more components of the patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen;
(iii) a display screen operatively connected to the processor;
(iv) a quantity of insulin;
(v) a needle communicating with the quantity of insulin for delivering insulin to the patient;
(vi) means for effecting delivery of a portion of the quantity of insulin to the patient via the needle; and
(vii) metering means for controlling the portion of the quantity of insulin delivered to the patient via the needle.

9. An system for diabetes management, comprising:
-
(a) a device including; (i) at least a first memory for storing data inputs corresponding at least to one or more components in a patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen and the patient'"'"'s blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times; and (ii) a processor operatively connected to the at least first memory, the processor programmed at least to determine from the data inputs corresponding to the patient'"'"'s blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times whether and by how much to vary at least one of the one or more components of the patient'"'"'s present insulin dosage regimen; (b) an apparatus, remote from the device, comprising a body housing; (i) at least a first memory; (ii) a processor operatively connected to the at least first memory; (iii) a display screen operatively connected to the processor; (iv) a quantity of insulin; (v) a needle communicating with the quantity of insulin for delivering insulin to a patient; (vi) means for effecting delivery of a portion of the quantity of insulin to the patient via the needle; and (vii) metering means for controlling the portion of the quantity of insulin delivered to the patient via the needle; and (c) means for communicating data between the device and the apparatus, the data including at least data corresponding to a current recommended insulin dose. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
