1. A computer program to provide diabetes management information to a user, the computer program comprising:
- a user interface;
a database module having a plurality of data inputs relating to blood glucose of a patient;
a business object module in communication with the database module; and
a diabetes management rules engine that generates a plurality of textual messages to the user interface based on the database module and the business object module, the textual messages including statistically significant patterns from the patient'"'"'s data indicative of at least excessive variability by at least one of time of day, by day in a week, both by time of day and day of week, or at different time intervals.

Abstract
A diabetes management system or process is provided herein that may be used to analyze and recognize patterns for a large amount of blood glucose concentration measurements and other physiological parameters related to the glycemia of a patient. In particular, a method of monitoring glycemia in a patient may include storing a patient'"'"'s data on a suitable device, such as, for example, a glucose meter. The patient'"'"'s data may include blood glucose concentration measurements. The diabetes management system or process may be installed on, but is not limited to, a personal computer, an insulin pen, an insulin pump, or a glucose meter. The diabetes management system or process may identify a plurality of pattern types from the data including a testing/dosing pattern, a hypoglycemic pattern, a hyperglycemic pattern, a variability pattern, and a comparative pattern. After identifying a particular pattern with the data management system or process, a warning message may be displayed on a screen of a personal computer or a glucose meter. Other messages can also be provided to ensure compliance of any prescribed diabetes regiments or to guide the patient in managing the patient'"'"'s diabetes.
