Abstract

A glucose evaluation system operates to evaluate and display glucose data. The glucose data is evaluated and a display is generated that presents the glucose data in a form that quickly conveys key information to a caregiver, without requiring the caregiver to spend a great deal of time studying the data or the display.

Claims

1. A method of evaluating and displaying glucose data, the method comprising:

receiving at a computing device glucose data for a patient, the glucose data containing data generated by a continuous glucose monitor associated with the patient; and

generating a graphical display of the glucose data with the computing device, the graphical display including at least a glucose profile for a modal day, the glucose profile graphically depicting therein;

a target range for the glucose data for the patient, including at least an upper boundary and a lower boundary; and

a line representing a median value of the glucose data across the modal day.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the glucose profile further displays lines graphically depicting a first lower boundary of the data points and a first upper boundary of the data points.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first lower boundary depicts the 10 percentile boundary or the 25 percentile boundary, and wherein the first upper boundary depicts the 90 percentile boundary or the 75 percentile boundary.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the glucose profile further displays lines graphically depicting a lower intermediate boundary of the data points an upper intermediate boundary of the data points.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the lower intermediate boundary is the 25 percentile boundary, and wherein the upper intermediate boundary is the 75 percentile boundary.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the glucose profile further displays data points representing glucose data collected by a self-monitoring blood glucose device.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the line is a continuous line, and wherein the line is displayed in a first color, the first color being different than all other colors displayed in the graphical display.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the target range is shaded with a second color in the graphical display.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein a range of data points between the lower intermediate boundary and the upper intermediate boundary are shaded with a third color in the graphical display.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting the graphical display to a remote computing device for visual presentation to a caregiver.

11. A method of graphically displaying glucose data, the method comprising:

evaluating glucose data, the glucose data including data obtained from a glucose monitor device;

generating with a computing device a glucose statistics window based on the evaluation of the glucose data, the glucose statistics window including at least a glucose exposure statistic, a glucose variability statistic, glucose ranges, and a data sufficiency statistic;

generating an ambulatory glucose profile window, the ambulatory glucose profile window including a graphical display of the glucose data across a modal day; and

generating a daily glucose profile window, the daily glucose profile window including a graphical display of the glucose data corresponding to days of a week.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

generating an insulin pump window, the insulin pump window including a graphical display of insulin data across the modal day.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the insulin data comprises bolus insulin data and basal insulin data.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the glucose statistics window further comprises expanded statistics, the expanded statistics including a glucose exposure close-up statistics, variability close-up statistics, and hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia episodes close-up statistics.

15. A glucose data evaluation server, comprising:

a computing device; and

at least one computer readable storage device, the at least one computer readable storage device storing (i) glucose data based at least in part upon data obtained by a continuous glucose monitor device, and (ii) program instructions, the program instructions being executable by the computing device to;

generate a graphical display of the glucose data, the graphical display including at least a glucose profile for a modal day, the glucose profile graphically depicting therein;

a target range for the glucose data for the patient, including at least an upper boundary and a lower boundary; and

a line representing a median value of the glucose data across the modal day.

16. A glucose data evaluation server, comprising:

a computing device; and

at least one computer readable storage device, the at least one computer readable storage device storing (i) glucose data based at least in part upon data obtained by a continuous glucose monitor device, and (ii) program instructions, the program instructions being executable by the computing device to;

generate a glucose statistics window based on the glucose data, the glucose statistics window including at least a glucose exposure statistic, a glucose variability statistic, glucose ranges, and a data sufficiency statistic;

generate an ambulatory glucose profile window, the ambulatory glucose profile window including a graphical display of the glucose data across a modal day; and

generate a daily glucose profile window, the daily glucose profile window including a graphical display of the glucose data corresponding to days of a week.
