Abstract

A method of diabetes management, comprising (a) providing a glucose meter in communication with a portable microprocessor-based unit; (b) transmitting blood glucose level data into the hand-held microprocessor-based unit from the blood glucose meter; (c) running a program of instructions on the portable microprocessor-based unit or the glucose meter or both; (d) inputting data based upon the blood glucose level data as input data for the program of instructions; and (e) providing a signal to inject insulin when the blood glucose level data indicates.

Claims

1. A method of diabetes management, comprising:

(a) providing a glucose meter, wherein said glucose meter is (i) in communication with a portable microprocessor-based unit and (ii) separate from said portable microprocessor-based unit;

(b) advising a user to measure a blood glucose level by transmitting blood glucose level data into the portable microprocessor-based unit from the glucose meter;

(c) running a program of instructions on the portable microprocessor-based unit, the glucose meter, or both, using data corresponding to the blood glucose level data, wherein said program of instructions presents an interactive presentation to said user via a display screen of said portable microprocessor-based unit, said interactive presentation reinforcing compliance with a diabetes management plan by presenting negative consequences in said interactive presentation in response to said blood glucose level data being outside an optimal range;

(d) inputting said data based upon said blood glucose level data as input data for the program of instructions; and

(e) advising said user to inject insulin based upon said diabetes management plan.
