Problems solved by technology

For example, a patient may have acceptable HbA1c levels ranging between 4% and 7%, but may have frequent hypoglycemic and / or hyperglycemic events because these events are not reflected in HbA1c levels

Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 An exemplary system 100 according to the present invention is shown comprising a program 112 for calculating a variability index of glycemia and estimated HbA1c levels. System 100 preferably includes a data source 102 , a communication link 104 , a processing station 106 connected to one or more data input devices 108 , a visual display 110 , and an output device 114 . Examples of data sources 102 include, but are not limited to, blood glucose metering systems, a system for testing blood or a continuous metering system for glucose in intercellular fluid, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes, as well as a system for detecting other analytical A metering system for a substance or indicator (for example, cholesterol or HbAlc). Data source 102 is preferably connected to processing station 106 via communication line 104 . Examples of communication link 104 include, but are not limited to, direct serial or USB cables, TCP / IP o...

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. Methods and systems in accordance with the present invention provide information relating to variability of glucose levels and hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Such information is based on time-stamped blood glucose data obtained from a meter or the like and actual measurements of HbA1c levels are not required.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to diabetes management. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes treatments. Background technique [0002] A fundamental problem that diabetics have concerns the transport of sugar contained in the blood across cell membranes. This in turn makes it difficult to maintain normal sugar levels in the body's blood. During diabetes treatment, patients regularly check blood sugar levels using self-test kits. By comparing the results of the self-test with what is considered normal blood sugar levels, the patient can estimate the amount of insulin that needs to be taken to keep blood sugar levels close to normal. Too much blood sugar (for example, because a person injects too little insulin) or eating more than prescribed is called hyperglycemia, and too low blood sugar (for example, because a patient injects too much insulin) is called hypoglycemia. Th...
