1. A method of diabetes management, comprising:
- (a) providing a glucose meter, wherein said glucose meter is (i) in communication with a portable microprocessor-based unit and (ii) separate from said portable microprocessor-based unit;
(b) advising a user to measure a blood glucose level by transmitting blood glucose level data into the portable microprocessor-based unit from the glucose meter;
(c) running a program of instructions on the portable microprocessor-based unit, the glucose meter, or both, using data corresponding to the blood glucose level data, wherein said program of instructions presents an interactive presentation to said user via a display screen of said portable microprocessor-based unit, said interactive presentation reinforcing compliance with a diabetes management plan by presenting negative consequences in said interactive presentation in response to said blood glucose level data being outside an optimal range;
(d) inputting said data based upon said blood glucose level data as input data for the program of instructions; and
(e) advising said user to inject insulin based upon said diabetes management plan.

10. One or more storage devices having program code embodied therein for programming one or more processors to perform a method of diabetes management using a system including a glucose meter in communication with a portable processor-based device, wherein the method comprises:
-
(a) advising a user to measure glucose levels with the glucose meter, wherein said glucose meter is separate from said portable microprocessor-based unit; (b) advising said user to measure said glucose levels by transmitting blood glucose level data into the portable microprocessor-based unit from the glucose meter; (c) running a program of instructions on the portable microprocessor-based unit, the glucose meter, or both, using data corresponding to the blood glucose level data, wherein said program of instructions presents an interactive presentation to said user via a display screen of said portable microprocessor-based unit, said interactive presentation reinforcing compliance with a diabetes management plan by presenting negative consequences in said interactive presentation in response to said blood glucose level data being outside an optimal range; (d) inputting said data based upon said blood glucose level data as input data for the program of instructions; and (e) advising said user to inject insulin based upon said diabetes management plan. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A diabetes management system, comprising:
-
(a) a hand-held microprocessor-based unit capable of accessing blood glucose level data therein and said hand-held microprocessor-based unit is (i) in communication with a glucose meter and (ii) separate from said glucose meter, said glucose meter configured to produce said blood glucose level data and communicate said blood glucose level data to said hand-held microprocessor-based unit; (b) a remote communications unit in communication with said hand-held microprocessor-based unit; (c) a program of instructions running on the hand-held microprocessor-based unit, the remote communications unit, or both, which uses said blood glucose level data as input data, wherein said program of instructions presents an interactive presentation to a user via a display screen of said hand-held microprocessor-based unit, said interactive presentation positively reinforcing compliance with a diabetes management plan by presenting negative consequences in said interactive presentation in response to said blood glucose level data being outside an optimal range; and (d) wherein said program of instructions further includes instructions to advise said user to inject insulin based upon said diabetes management plan. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
