1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at data processing hardware, a current blood glucose measurement of a patient and a time period of the current blood glucose measurement from a blood glucose meter in communication with the data processing hardware;
obtaining, using the data processing hardware, blood glucose parameters for the patient from remote memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware;
when the current blood glucose measurement is greater than a hyperglycemia blood glucose limit or less than a hypoglycemia blood glucose limit;
transmitting an out-of-range blood glucose alert from the data processing hardware to a computing device associated with an authorized medial professional; and
receiving, at the data processing hardware, one of hyperglycemia patient instructions or hypoglycemia patient instructions from the computing device associated with the authorized medial professional;
when the current blood glucose measurement exceeds a target blood glucose value that is greater than the hypoglycemia blood glucose limit and less than the hyperglycemia blood glucose limit, determining, using the data processing hardware, a correction dose based on the current blood glucose measurement and one or more of the blood glucose parameters;
when the time period of the current blood glucose measurement is a pre-meal time and a meal type associated with the pre-meal time is one of breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack;
obtaining, using the data processing hardware, a previous meal bolus administered by the patient for the associated meal type from the remote memory hardware;
obtaining, using the data processing hardware, a previous next scheduled blood glucose measurement from the remote memory hardware, the previous next scheduled blood glucose measurement resulting from the previous meal bolus administered by the patient; and
determining, using the data processing hardware, a current meal bolus based on the previous meal bolus and the previous next scheduled blood glucose measurement;
displaying the received hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia user instructions, the calculated correction dose and/or the calculated current meal bolus on a user interface in communication with the data processing hardware; and
storing the received hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia user instructions, the calculated correction dose and/or the calculated current meal bolus in the remote memory hardware.

Abstract
A glycemic control system includes a physician processor, remote processor, and a portable telephone having a data input mechanism, a display, and an internal processor for bi-directional communication with the physician'"'"'s processor and the remote processor. A patient inputs data to the internal processor responsive to input from the physician'"'"'s processor and then transmits the information to the remote processor where an optimized number of units to be administered is sent back and displayed on the portable telephone.
