1. A system for determining postprandial glucose concentration, said system comprising:
- a processor adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to calculate postprandial glucose values based on a therapeutic action scheme and each of;
a preprandial glucose concentration measurement by self-monitoring of glucose;
an effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose increase;
an estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal;
an effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose decrease; and
an insulin dosage;
wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to account for a margin of error for the self-monitored preprandial glucose concentration measurement in the calculation;
wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to account for an error associated with at least one of;
the effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose concentration increase;
the estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal;
the effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose concentration decrease; and
the insulin dosage; and
wherein a trend of a continuous blood glucose monitoring is considered as follows;

Abstract
A method for diabetes care, the method (which also may be referred to as, involve or incorporate at least one of a tool, device or program) allowing for the characterization of the relevance of errors of parameters affecting glucose concentration on a postprandial glucose concentration outcome for a person with diabetes mellitusm, wherein the method involves at least one of sensing, determining, calculating, predicting, describing and communicating the effects of potential errors of parameters affecting glucose concentration on postprandial glucose concentration values within a clinically relevant glucose range.

7. A method of therapy, diagnosis or education comprising:
-
using a computing system having data processing logic and computer readable storage media with one or more computer programs stored thereon for calculating postprandial glucose concentrations for a range of preprandial glucose concentrations based on a therapeutic action scheme and each of; a preprandial glucose measurement by self-monitoring of glucose concentration; an effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose increase; an estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal; an effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose decrease; and an insulin dosage, and displaying a result relating to the calculated postprandial glucose concentrations only if the calculated postprandial glucose concentrations are within a predetermined range, wherein the result is displayed on a display operatively coupled to the computing system;
whereincalculating postprandial glucose concentrations further includes taking into account a margin of error for self-monitored preprandial glucose concentration. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
