Embodiment Construction

[0024] Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to monitoring diabetes (eg progression / recovery), and more specifically to monitoring the effectiveness of prescribed therapy in a decentralized setting. Patients can visit a physician and undergo the first oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) using venous and capillary blood samples. The first OGTT can be used to diagnose the patient's diabetes status and to establish a baseline for comparison during subsequent testing and monitoring of diabetes. The patient or provider can then implement some type of treatment to address their diabetic condition until one or more target events are reached. Once the target event is reached, the patient may undergo an additional OGTT using capillary blood samples in a decentralized setting and following the same testing protocol as the first OGTT. The patient can then compare the status test results of the additional decentralized OGTT(s) to the established baseline to see how his or her...

Abstract

Methods for decentralized monitoring of a progression of a diabetic state of a patient include contemporaneously obtaining an initial set of venous blood samples and an initial set of capillary blood samples after a standardized metabolic challenge from the patient in a centralized setting, wherein the diabetic state is diagnosed using the initial set of venous blood samples and a first test baseline is established by correlating the initial set of capillary blood samples with the initial set of venous blood samples, implementing a therapy, performing decentralized testing after reaching a target event, wherein a status test is obtained from a status set of capillary blood samples obtained from the patient after a subsequent standardized metabolic challenge, and comparing the status test with the first test baseline to determine an effectiveness of the therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to monitoring diabetes, and in particular to methods and devices for monitoring diabetes in a decentralized environment. Background technique [0002] Diabetes testing and monitoring can be accomplished through multiple tests that vary independently in their accuracy, cost, and time requirements. While certain testing modalities may provide a more accurate and acceptable diagnosis, such methods may be relatively time intensive and / or require a laboratory or clinical setting for proper administration. Likewise, other testing methods may be more convenient, but provide less accurate or less consistent results, undermining their reliability. One testing methodology used to diagnose and / or assess a patient's diabetic status includes the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). An exemplary OGTT may include first obtaining a pre-test measurement of the patient's blood glucose after the patient has fasted for about eight...
