1. Method for monitoring the influence of insulin medication and meals of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing sets of data containing the following data;
a blood sugar value (BVi) determined before the meal, a blood sugar value (BNi) determined after the meal, bread units (BEi) ingested by the user during the meal, and insulin units (Ii) administered to the user between the determination of the blood sugar values (BVi and BNi), b) calculating blood sugar differences Δ
Bi from the blood sugar values (BVi and BNi) before and after the meal respectively for individual sets of data, c) calculating a quotient Qi from the insulin units (Ii) and bread units (BEi), d) plotting points Pi (Δ
Bi;
Qi) in a system of coordinates comprising a first coordinate for the blood sugar differences (Δ
Bi) and a second coordinate for the quotients (Qi), e) outputting the coordinate system with the points (Pi) on an output device.

Abstract
Method for monitoring insulin medication in which blood sugar values are determined before and after a meal. The difference between these measured values is plotted against a quotient calculated from the bread units ingested during the meal and the insulin units used to compensate for these bread units. Displaying many such points on a graph provides criteria for improving the insulin medication.
