Method and system for calculating daily weighted averages of glucose measurements (or derived quantities) with time based-weights
First Claim
1. A method for calculating daily weighted averages of glucose measurements collected at a different time with time-based weights comprising:
- receiving, by a computer device, a plurality of glucose measurements for a patient from a glucose meter;
determining, by the computer device, whether each time interval between two consecutive glucose measurements in the plurality of glucose measurements exceeds a predefined maximum time interval value;
computing, by the computer device, electronically an average daily glucose value, which represents the daily weighted average of the glucose measurements, using time based weights with the glucose measurements, wherein only consecutive glucose measurements in the plurality of glucose measurements with acceptable time intervals that do not exceed the predefined maximum time interval contribute to the average daily glucose value; and
reporting, by the computer device, the computed daily weighted average of the glucose measurements, where the steps of determining, computing and reporting are implemented by computer executable instructions executed by a computer processor of the computing device.

Abstract
A method and system for calculating daily weighted averages of glucose measurements (or derived quantities) with time-based weights are disclosed. The present invention computes an average daily glucose value using the time based weights based on only consecutive glucose measurements in the plurality of glucose measurements with acceptable time intervals that do not exceed a predefined maximum time interval. The invention further relates to a computer program for implementing the method for calculating daily weighted averages of spot monitoring glucose measurements (or derived quantities) with the time-based weights.
