Abstract

A handheld diabetes manager communicates with an external insulin pump and includes a port for blood glucose measurement, a blood glucose measurement module, a communications module that selectively communicates wirelessly with the insulin pump, and a user interface module. The user interface module communicates with the blood glucose measurement module and the communications module and operates to provide a graphical user interface on a display of the diabetes manager. The graphical user interface includes a personal data menu screen from which a logbook option can be selected to display a logbook screen, and a trend graph option that can be selected to display a trend graph screen. The logbook screen displays a plurality of time data records. Each time data record includes blood glucose data, bolus insulin data, and carbohydrate data for a corresponding time, and a plurality of data icons indicating corresponding events.

Claims

1. A handheld diabetes manager communicating with an external insulin pump and having a personal data module comprising:

a port configured to receive a test strip for blood glucose measurement;

a blood glucose measurement module cooperatively operable with a test strip inserted in the port for blood glucose measurement;

a communications module that selectively communicates via a wireless data link with an external insulin pump; and

a user interface module in data communication with the blood glucose measurement module and the communications module and operable to provide a graphical user interface on a display of the diabetes manager, wherein the graphical user interface includes a personal data menu screen from which a logbook option can be selected to display a logbook screen, the logbook screen displaying a plurality of time data records, each time data record including blood glucose data, bolus insulin data and carbohydrate data for a corresponding time, and a bolus icon and a first icon in association with the bolus icon when a bolus advice recommendation is accepted, and a second icon, different from the first icon, when a bolus advice recommendation is not accepted.

2. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 1, wherein the logbook screen displays a health event icon when a health event was entered during the corresponding time data record.

3. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 1, wherein the logbook screen displays a “

pump paused”

icon when the insulin pump was paused in the corresponding time data record.

4. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 1, wherein the logbook screen displays a blood glucose indicator icon associated with the blood glucose value of the corresponding time data record.

5. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 1, wherein the logbook screen displays a carb icon and the first icon in association with the carb icon when a carb advice recommendation is accepted, and the second icon when a carb advice recommendation is not accepted.

6. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 1, wherein the logbook screen displays different icons for each of standard, extended and multiwave bolus associated with each time data record.

7. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 1, wherein a detailed blood glucose screen reached for a time data record associated with an accepted bolus advice recommendation displays a lock icon indicating that the corresponding data cannot be changed.

8. A handheld diabetes manager communicating with an external insulin pump and having a personal data module comprising:

a port configured to receive a test strip for blood glucose measurement;

a blood glucose measurement module cooperatively operable with a test strip inserted in the port for blood glucose measurement;

a communications module that selectively communicates via a wireless data link with an external insulin pump; and

a user interface module in data communication with the blood glucose measurement module and the communications module and operable to provide a graphical user interface on a display of the diabetes manager, wherein the graphical user interface includes a personal data menu screen from which a trend graph option can be selected to display a trend graph screen, the trend graph screen displaying within a graph area a blood glucose line graph, a carb bar graph, a basal rate line graph and a bolus bar graph representing corresponding data during a selected time interval.

9. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 8, wherein the blood glucose line graph is a piecewise linear graph connecting data points corresponding to blood glucose data.

10. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 8, wherein the carb bar graph is a bar graph corresponding to carb data.

11. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 8, wherein the trend graph screen displays a color-coded area indicating a normal blood glucose range.

13. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 8, wherein the trend graph screen displays along an upper portion of the graph area from left to right icons representing events that occurred in the trend graph'"'"'s time interval, including icons indicating health events, icons indicating “

pump stopped”

events and icons indicating “

pump paused”

events.

14. The handheld diabetes manager of claim 8, wherein the trend graph screen includes an “

icon help”
