System and method for managing diabetes
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method on a computer readable medium for managing the blood glucose level of a diabetes patient, the method comprising:
- providing the patient with a data input interface with which the patient performs at least three of the following;
i. entering activity data characterizing a physical activity of the patient into a record in an activity log, whereupon an individual time/date stamp is generated and stored with the activity data in the record in the activity log;
ii. entering blood glucose data characterizing blood glucose of the patient into a record in a blood glucose log, whereupon an individual time/date stamp is generated and stored with the blood glucose data in the record in the blood glucose log;
iii. entering meal intake data characterizing food intake of the patient into a record in a meal log, whereupon an individual time/date stamp is generated and stored with the meal intake data in the record in the meal log;
iv. entering insulin intake data characterizing insulin intake of a patient into a record in an insulin log, whereupon an individual time/date stamp is generated and stored with the insulin intake data in the record in the insulin log;
obtaining data on amounts of calories burned in the activity of the patient;
obtaining nutrition data based on food intake of the patient; and
calculating insulin and carbohydrate intake recommendations for the patient based on the data entered in said records.

Abstract
A diabetes management system and method used to manage the blood glucose level of a diabetes patient. The system includes at least one portable electronic device and a database system. The portable electronic device allows the patient to input different types of data into the processor to calculate insulin and carbohydrate intake recommendations for the patient. A time/date stamp is individually generated and stored for each type of data inputted by the patient. The diabetes management system also includes a database system which stores (i) activity data associated with the physical activity of the patient, (ii) blood glucose data associated with the blood glucose level of the patient, (iii) meal intake data associated with the food intake of the patient, and (iv) insulin intake data associated with the insulin intake of the patient.

5. A diabetes management system an a computer readable medium comprising at least three of:
-
i) an activity log adapted to store activity data associated with activity of a patent and an activity database adapted to store data on amounts of calories burned during various activities, wherein first data is transferred between the activity database and the activity log; ii) a meal log adapted to store meal intake data associated with food intake of a patient and a food database adapted to store nutrition facts on various foods, wherein second data is transferred between the food database and the meat log; iii) a blood glucose log adapted to store data associated with a blood glucose level of a patient; iv) an insulin log adapted to store insulin intake data associated with insulin intake of a patient; and v) a notes log adapted to store notes provided by a patient, the activity database and food database being independent from one another if both are present, wherein each of said logs has at least one record, each record including a date/time field; wherein each of said activity log records, said blood glucose log records, said meal log records, said insulin log records and said notes log records are stored independently from one another in respective ones of said logs, and wherein i) first data is transferred between the activity database and the activity log and ii) second data is transferred between the food database and the meal log, for calculation of; a) the insulin intake recommendations for the patient and/or b) the carbohydrate intake recommendations for the patient. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A diabetes management system on a computer readable medium comprising:
-
an activity database adapted to store data on amounts of calories burned during various activities; a food database adapted to store nutrition facts on various foods, the activity database and food database being independent from one another; an activity log adapted to store activity data associated with activity of a patent; a blood glucose log adapted to store data associated with a blood glucose level of the patient; a meal log adapted to store meal intake data associated with food intake of the patient; an insulin log adapted to store insulin intake data associated with insulin intake of the patient; and a notes log adapted to store notes associated with the patient, wherein each of said logs has at least one record, each record including a date/time field, wherein each of said activity log records, said blood glucose log records, said meal log records, said insulin log records and said notes log records are stored independently from one another in respective ones of said logs, and wherein insulin and/or carbohydrate intake recommendations for the patient are determined based on the data entered in said records.
