         9 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said vital parameter is a weight. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , calculating a net carbohydrate of said food units using said central processing unit, and display a total amount of said net carbohydrate on said display. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , calculating a net carbohydrate of said food units using said central processing unit, and displaying a total amount of said net carbohydrate on said display, and calculating said total amount of net carbohydrates for selected food units using said central processing unit. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , enabling a user to calibrate the input of insulin dosage, by using an input after meal blood sugar level, and comparing this blood sugar value with the insulin dosage in terms of true/false, correct/incorrect. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising registration of a time of an event and for registration of time intervals between times of different events using a timer unit, and storing said total amount on said memory for providing a monitoring trend that extends over a certain time, retrospectively providing historical blood sugar affecting parameter information objects. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said blood sugar affecting parameters comprise information objects about contents of sugars, carbohydrates, fibers and possible preparation of respective food unit and/or physical activities, health condition and medication of said user. 
     
     
         15 . A mobile, portable apparatus adapted to be handheld and configured for electronic processing of blood sugar affecting factors, comprising:
 at least one memory having stored thereon a plurality of food units and corresponding blood sugar affecting parameters for each food unit of said plurality of food units;   wherein said at least one corresponding blood sugar affecting parameter is a stored value of one or more of the following parameters:   glycemic indexes;   glycemic loads; and   glycemic affecting parameters;   
       that quantifies the effect the food unit will have on a blood sugar level;
 wherein said at least one memory is arranged and configured to communicate with a central processing unit;
