GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM WITH WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A portable glucose monitor comprising:
- a glucose sensor that senses a glucose level and provides glucose sensor data representative of the level of glucose sensed;
a glucose monitor processor configured to receive the glucose sensor data and provide processed glucose data for transmission;
a wireless communication component including a transmitter configured to receive the processed glucose data and wirelessly transmit the processed glucose data by a non-proprietary protocol; and
a portable housing in which are located only the glucose sensor, the glucose data processor, and the communication component and including no direct user interface other than the glucose sensor.

Abstract
A glucose monitor having only a test strip reader and wireless transmission to a remote hand held calculation processor. All glucose data processing occurs in a remote hand held calculator processor with the glucose monitor providing only sensing and wireless transfer of data. In an embodiment, the glucose monitor includes a button for use in wirelessly pairing the monitor to a smart phone for data communication with a non-proprietary communication protocol, and a light source to communicate the progress of the pairing. In a further embodiment, the glucose monitor includes a switch coupled to the strip reader such that power is applied to the monitor when a test strip is inserted and power is removed with the withdrawal of the test strip. In another embodiment, inserting the test strip and activating the switch also places the glucose monitor into the pairing search mode to communication with a host remote processor.
