GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE PERTAINING TO A BOLUS CALCULATOR RESIDING ON A HANDHELD DIABETES MANAGEMENT DEVICE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a bolus recommendation which accounts for multiple health events, comprising:
- receiving, by a bolus calculator, indicia for one or more health events to be associated with a request for an insulin recommendation, the bolus calculator implemented by a computer processor of a handheld diabetes management device;
receiving, by the bolus calculator, a request for an insulin recommendation for a patient;
determining, by the bolus calculator, how many health events are associated with the request for an insulin recommendation;
prompting, by the bolus calculator, the user for an input for the health events associated with the insulin recommendation, where the prompting is in response to a determination that two or more health events are associated with the request for an insulin recommendation and the input represents a cumulative effect of the health events on the insulin on the patient;
receiving, by the bolus calculator, an input value from the user in response to the prompting; and
computing, by the bolus calculator, an insulin recommendation for the patient using the input value.

Abstract
A handheld diabetes manager is presented with an improved graphical user interface for a bolus calculator. The bolus calculator is configured to receive blood glucose measurements from a blood glucose measurement module and operates, in response to an input, to compute an insulin recommendation for a patient based in part on the blood glucose measurements. The graphical user interface for the bolus calculator includes a health adjustment screen that enables a user to input a value for health events associated with the insulin recommendation, where the input value represents a cumulative effect of the health events on insulin of the patient and the health adjustment screen presents a different icon for each of the health events associated with the insulin recommendation.

11. A computer-implemented method for determining a bolus recommendation which accounts for multiple health events using a handheld diabetes management device, comprising:
-
receiving a blood glucose measure from a blood glucose measurement module of the handheld diabetes management device; initiating, by a bolus calculator, a countdown timer in response to the receipt of the blood glucose measure, the bolus calculator implemented by a computer processor of a handheld diabetes management device; displaying, by the bolus calculator, the countdown timer on a graphical user interface associated with the bolus calculator; receiving, by a bolus calculator, indicia for one or more health events to be associated with a request for an insulin recommendation; receiving, by the bolus calculator, a request for an insulin recommendation for a patient; determining, by the bolus calculator, how many health events are associated with the request for an insulin recommendation; presenting, by the bolus calculator, a health adjustment screen on a display of the handheld diabetes management device in response to a determination that two or more health events are associated with the request for an insulin recommendation, the health adjustment screen having a different icon for each of the health events associated with the insulin recommendation receiving, via the health adjustment screen, an input value for the health events, the input represents a cumulative effect of the health events on the insulin on the patient; and computing, by the bolus calculator, an insulin recommendation for the patient using the input value. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A handheld diabetes manager having an improved graphical user interface for a bolus calculator, comprising:
-
a port configured to receive a test strip having a reaction site for receiving a sample of blood from a patient; a blood glucose measurement module cooperatively operable with a test strip inserted in the port to measure glucose in a sample of blood residing on the test strip; a bolus calculator module configured to receive blood glucose measurements from the blood glucose measurement module and operates, in response to an input, to compute an insulin recommendation for a patient based in part on the blood glucose measurements, the bolus calculator is implemented by a computer processor of the handheld diabetes management device; and a user interface module in data communication with the bolus calculator module and operable to provide a graphical user interface on a display of the diabetes manager, wherein the graphical user interface includes a health adjustment screen that enables a user to input a value for health events associated with the insulin recommendation, where the input value represents a cumulative effect of the health events on insulin of the patient and the health adjustment screen presents a different icon for each of the health events associated with the insulin recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
