         1 . A method for processing physiological measurements, the method comprising:
 receiving, by a medical device management system, physiological measurement data from a portable medical device, wherein the physiological measurement data comprises identification information associated with a user of the portable medical device;   identifying a user account of the medical device management system based on the identification information;   processing the physiological measurement data to determine at least one physiological parameter associated with the physiological measurement data;   transmitting the determined at least one physiological parameter to the portable medical device for display; and   storing the physiological measurement data and the determined at least one physiological parameter in the identified user account.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising providing the determined at least one physiological parameter to a user account different from the identified user account based on one or more privacy settings of the identified user account. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the medical device is a glucometer. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one physiological parameter comprises glucose. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement data comprises non-invasive physiological measurement data. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement data comprises invasive physiological test data. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement data is contained in an XML file. 
     
     
         8 . A method for calibrating a portable medical device, the method comprising:
 receive a request for calibration from a portable medical device, wherein the request includes identification information associated with the medical device;   identify an account associated with the medical device based on the identification information;   determining that the device needs calibration based on the information stored in the account;   sending a signal to the medical device to initiate a calibration mode on the medical device;   receiving calibration data from the medical device;   processing the calibration data to determine a calibration of the device transmitting an updated calibration to medical device; and   storing the updated calibration in the account associated with the medical device.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the calibration is based on historical information associated with the user account. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the medical device is a glucometer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the calibration can be a single point calibration. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein calibration data comprises non-invasive physiological data. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein calibration data comprises invasive physiological data. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein calibration is patient specific. 
     
     
         15 . A medical device management system comprising:
 a data store configured to store user account information associated with a plurality of user accounts; and   a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device configured to:
 receive a measurement request from a portable medical device, wherein the measurement request comprises physiological measurement data; 
 identify a user account of the plurality of user accounts associated with the measurement request; 
 process the physiological measurement data to determine at least one physiological parameter associated with the physiological measurement data; 
 transmit the determined at least one physiological parameter to the portable medical device for display; and 
 storing the physiological measurement data and the determined at least one physiological parameter in the identified user account. 
   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the data store is further configured to store user specific calibration data associated with the device. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the at least one physiological parameter is a least one of invasive glucose testing, non-invasive blood glucose testing, Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Total Hemoglobin (SpHb), Alkaline Phosphatase (SpALP), Total Cholesterol (SpChol), High-Density Lipoprotein (SpHDL), or Total Cholesterol Divided by High Density Lipoprotein (SpChol/SpHDL). 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the user account stores a log of all measurements and calibrations associated with each user account. 
     
     
         19 .
