Method, system, and computer program product for the processing of self-monitoring blood glucose(SMBG)data to enhance diabetic self-management
DCFirst Claim
1. A system for evaluating the HbA1c of a patient based on blood glucose (BG) data collected over a first predetermined duration, said system comprising:
- a database component operative to maintain a database identifying said BG data; and
a processor programmed to;
pre-process the collected BG data to convert the collected BG data into derived BG data derived from said collected BG data, estimate HbA1c by applying at least one predetermined formula to said derived BG data,validate the estimate via sample selection criteria; and
output the estimate to a user.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product related to the maintenance of optimal control of diabetes, and is directed to predicting the long-term exposure to hyperglycemia, and the long-term and short-term risks of severe or moderate hypoglycemia in diabetics, based on blood blucose readings collected by a self-monitoring blood glucose device. The method, system, and computer program product pertain directly to the enhancement of existing home blood glucose monitoring devices, by introducing an intelligent data interpretation component capable of predicting both HbA1c and periods of increased risk of hypoglycemia, and to the enhancement of emerging continuous monitoring devices by the same features. With these predictions the diabetic can take steps to prevent the adverse consequences associated with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
