Patent Images
1. A data communication system, comprising:
- a client unit including a client wireless communication module and a glucose sensor in contact with a bodily fluid to determine a glucose level in the bodily fluid and generate corresponding glucose data, the bodily fluid comprising one of blood or interstitial fluid; and
an automobile including an automobile communication module configured to communicate with the client unit to receive the glucose data from the client unit;
wherein the automobile comprises programming that includes one or more acceptable glucose level ranges, and wherein one or more functions of the automobile is configured to be disabled until the received glucose data is within the one or more acceptable glucose level ranges.

Abstract
A glucose measuring system includes a glucose meter that incorporates wireless communication capabilities. The meter can advantageously be a low cost meter by eliminating expensive components, such as the display. The user nevertheless is able to retrieve and view his or her glucose values by referring to displays within the glucose measuring local area network. Feedback via these displays can advantageously be used by the diabetic to create a higher level of confidence and safety.
