1. A chronic disease management system comprising:
- an analyte meter having a display, interface buttons and a mobile communication module disposed in a unitary housing; and
a server bi-directionally coupled to the analyte meter via one of multiple wireless communication mediums such that the server is configured to contact the mobile communication module in one wireless medium in preparation for the meter to initiate a contact with the server and transfer data stored in the meter in a different wireless communication medium.

3. A method of communication for a server wirelessly connected to an analyte meter having a mobile communication module coupled to a microprocessor, the method comprising:
-
causing the server to contact the communication module in one wireless communication protocol with a query signal; confirming receipt of the query signal by the communication module; preventing the communication module from opening a communication channel with the server; and separately contacting the server by communication module with a different communication protocol.

9. A method of communication for a server wirelessly connected to an analyte meter having a mobile communication module coupled to a microprocessor, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an identifier for the meter; sending a short-message-service (“
SMS”
) to the meter with the identifier; andidentifying that the SMS is from an acceptable server, initiating a separate connection from the meter to the server, downloading data from the server and closing the connection.
