Method and glucose monitoring system for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback, involving monitoring of a glucose level in a qualified subject, the method comprising:
- a) self-calibrating a glucose measuring device to establish a glucose reference level, wherein the glucose reference level corresponds to a fasting glucose level of the qualified subject;
(b) consecutively performing a plurality of measurements of a glucose level in the qualified subject by the glucose measuring device;
(c) generating first data in the glucose measuring device, the first data corresponding to the measured glucose level;
(d) transmitting the first data to an analysis device;
(e) generating second data in the analysis device, the second data representing at least one measure for variability of a glucose level of the qualified subject from a time-series of glucose measurements represented by the first data;
(f) comparing the second data with reference data and further processing a result of the comparison for generating a conclusion about nutritional quality of foodstuffs consumed by the qualified subject and/or about a risk of long-term health complications of the qualified subject; and
(g) providing feedback corresponding to the conclusion on an output device.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback involve monitoring of a glucose level in a qualified subject. The method comprises the step of consecutively performing a plurality of measurements of a glucose level in the qualified subject by a measuring device. In the measuring device first data corresponding to the measured glucose level is generated. This data is further transmitted to an analysis device. There, second data is generated representing at least one measure for variability of a glucose level of the subject from a time-series of glucose measurements represented by the first data. The second data is compared with reference data and a result of the comparison is further processed for generating a conclusion about nutritional quality of foodstuffs consumed by the subject and/or about a risk of long-term health complications of the subject. Finally, feedback is provided corresponding to the conclusion on an output device.

18. A glucose monitoring system for monitoring glycemic individual metabolic response in a qualified subject and for generating nutritional feedback, comprising:
-
a) a glucose measuring device comprising a sensor for consecutively performing a plurality of measurements of a glucose level in the qualified subject and comprising a data generator for generating first data corresponding to the measured glucose level, wherein the glucose measuring device is configured to self-calibrate to establish a glucose reference level, wherein the glucose reference level corresponds to a fasting glucose level of the qualified subject; b) an analysis device comprising a computer to generate second data representing at least one measure for variability of the glucose level of the qualified subject from a time-series of glucose measurements represented by the first data, and to compare the second data with reference data and for further processing a result of the comparison for generating a conclusion about nutritional quality of foodstuffs consumed by the qualified subject and/or about a risk of long-term health complications of the qualified subject; and c) a computer-controlled output device to provide feedback corresponding to the conclusion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
