Abstract
Automating the processes of receiving, storing and analyzing blood glucose readings obtained from a diabetic using one or more computer-based systems may provide a number of advantages in the management of levels of glucose in the diabetic'"'"'s blood. Information regarding a blood glucose reading obtained from a user may be transmitted in one or more messages to the user, to an interested party (e.g. family member), or to a third party over a network, and may serve as the basis for a computer-based motivation strategy to encourage the diabetic to comply with a blood glucose management regime. Additionally, such information may be manually or automatically posted to a social network, thereby enabling the diabetic to receive words of encouragement and support from his or her social network connections, and thereby increase his or her motivation to comply with the blood glucose management regime accordingly.
