Abstract
A method and system in which a short range wireless signal containing an activation code is received with a glucose meter. Upon receiving the signal, the glucose meter awakens from a low power state. A dormant function on the glucose meter that corresponds to the activation code is activated in response to receiving the short range wireless signal. In one example, the glucose meter includes an RFID tag configured to receive an RFID signal. A device reader coupled to a health care provider computer transmits the RFID signal. The dormant function on the glucose meter can include any number of functions, such as a structured glucose test and/or the ability to automatically generate reports.
