Diabetes Care Host-Client Architecture and Data Management System

Abstract

A host-client data sharing system manages diabetes care data. A host database, preferably web or internet based, is implemented for storing diabetes care data relating to multiple diabetics. A client or local database stores the diabetes care data relating to multiple diabetics on a personal appliance such as a PC, or a portable or handheld microprocessor-based computing device. The host database uses multiple servers for handling client interactions with the system.

         50 . A testing system comprising:
 a user interface including a display for displaying information relating to measurements of health data and an input device for receiving input from the user;   a statistical operation adapted to provide the user with enhanced information relating to the measurements of health data, the statistical operation providing the user with an average value based on a plurality of health data readings determined for a specified time period; and   at least one indicator for indicating information relating to the number of health data readings that are within a target range, the number of health data readings that are above the target range and the number of health data readings that are below the target range.   
     
     
         51 . The testing system of  claim 50 , wherein the average value and the number of health data readings that are within, above and below the target range of health data readings are displayed simultaneously to the user on the display. 
     
     
         52 . The testing system of  claim 50 , wherein the target range may include a pre-meal target range and a post-meal target range. 
     
     
         53 . A method of providing a testing system, the method comprising the acts of:
 providing the testing system having a user interface including a display for displaying information relating to measurements of health data including a plurality of health data readings;   receiving input from the user via the input device;   performing a statistical operation to provide the user with enhanced information relating to the plurality of health data readings;   displaying an output of the statistical operation, the output being based on the plurality of health data readings determined for a specified time period; and   displaying at least one indicator for indicating the number of health data readings that are within a target range, the number of health data readings that are above the target range and the number of health data readings that are below the target range.   
     
     
         54 . The method of  claim 53 , wherein the output of the statistical operation is an average value of the plurality of health data readings. 
     
     
         55 . The method of  claim 53 , wherein the average value is a 7-day average, a 14-day average or a 30-day average. 
     
     
         56 . The method of  claim 53 , further comprising simultaneously displaying the output of the statistical operation and the at least one indicator to the user on the display.
