Progressively Personalized Wireless-Based Interactive Diabetes Treatment
First Claim
1. A method of diabetes management using a portable device including a glucometer and a microprocessor with a readable display, said device being carried with the patient and linked through a wireless connection to a server, comprising:
- periodically displaying a message prompting the patient to measure his blood glucose level;
actuating the glucometer to test a patient blood sample for blood glucose level;
displaying the blood glucose level determined following each test;
displaying one or more icons which can be activated to associate the blood glucose level determined with a particular meal; and
if the blood glucose level determined is above 250 mg/dl, displaying a message for the patient to test ketone levels.

Abstract
This is a system for integrating a system of education, monitoring and advising on glucose testing, diet, exercise and drug administration, using a device which is lightweight and portable (and easily carried by the patient) and which is capable of:
glucose testing and recording the results over time;
providing some education, feedback and advice from internal programs based on the results and on patient preferences; and
preferably transmitting the glucose testing results for external recording (e.g., on a server) and external analysis, and providing education, feedback and advice from the server, and, if needed, from an appropriately knowledgeable and health care experienced party.

11. A method of diabetes management using, a portable device including a glucometer, a ketone level tester and a microprocessor with a readable display, said device being carried with the patient, comprising:
-
recording results of blood glucose level tests from the glucometer and ketone levels from the ketone level tester; recording calories of carbohydrate consumed by the patient and the timing of the consumption; inputting information about patient preferences for food, timing of meals and exercise to the device; analyzing of the patient preferences and the blood glucose levels, ketone levels, and carbohydrate consumption; and displaying, on the device, advice to the patient and education for the patient based on the analysis. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
