1. A method of performing diabetes self-care by a patient with a system of integrated electronic devices, comprising:

  • (a) powering a portable blood glucose monitor provided to said patient;

    (b) receiving a sufficient amount of blood from said patient for the portable blood glucose monitor to run a blood glucose test sequence;

    (c) controlling the blood glucose test sequence;

    (d) computing a blood glucose level;

    (e) coupling the blood glucose monitor directly to a portable microprocessor-based device also provided to said patient, wherein said portable microprocessor-based device is separate from the blood glucose monitor, the blood glucose monitor is removably coupled to said portable microprocessor-based device by said patient, and said portable microprocessor-based device includes

         1) a video display for displaying information to said patient, said video display configured to display pictorial, symbolic, graphic and alphanumeric information,

         2) a plurality of switches operable by said patient for interactively controlling said portable microprocessor-based device and for manipulating the information displayed on said video display, and

         3) a circuit coupled to said plurality of switches for generating video signals in response to the operation of the switches;

    (f) transmitting blood glucose test results from said blood glucose monitor directly to said portable microprocessor-based device;

    (g) running program instructions stored in a memory of the portable microprocessor-based device for performing analysis of the blood glucose test results, signal processing of insulin dosage data, and detecting a need for a change in insulin dosage; and

    (h) recording data and time stamped blood glucose test results, calibration information, and insulin dosage information in said memory of the portable microprocessor-based device, said memory also containing programming for establishing a data protocol that allows digital data signal processing, and for performing said analysis of blood glucose.
