Abstract

A simulation device for playful evaluation and display of blood sugar levels, including a display, wherein the evaluation is displayed by a virtual creature.

Claims

1. A simulation device for displaying and evaluating blood sugar readings, comprising:

a housing;

a display means; and

a storing, evaluating and controlling unit;

wherein the evaluation is displayed by means of a virtual creature.

2. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said simulation device has an input device.

3. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the evaluation of the blood sugar levels causes a change in said virtual creature.

4. The simulation device as set forth in claim 3, wherein said change in the virtual creature can be seen as a change in color.

5. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the device is integrated into another apparatus.

6. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the device is integrated into a pocket PC.

7. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the device is integrated into a blood sugar measuring apparatus.

8. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the evaluation of the blood sugar levels is additionally conveyed via acoustic means.

9. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the housing has a specific shape.

10. The simulation device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the ascertained blood sugar levels are transmitted to the evaluating unit by means of wireless communication.
