Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 A diabetic patient 10 is shown in a self-test environment. The self-test environment includes handheld blood glucose meter 12 , test strip container 14 , test strip 16 , lancet 18 , and computing device 20 . Diabetic person 10 is typically user 10 of blood glucose meter 12; however, user 10 can also be a clinician, healthcare provider, family member, or other person. Meter 12 is operated by inserting disposable test strip 16 into meter 12 . The user typically bleeds a finger to obtain a small drop of blood that is placed on the test strip 16 collection area. Meter 12 performs electrochemical or photometric analysis of blood and displays blood glucose measurements. Use current blood glucose measurements for treatment decisions, such as insulin dosing and carbohydrate consumption. The current blood glucose measurement is compared to a standard target blood glucose range (eg, 70 mg / dL to about 160 mg / dL) or a personalized target blood glucose range based on sp...

Abstract

A blood glucose meter with a low cost user interface has a colored blood glucose scale indexed by indicators programmed by a separate computing device according to the user's blood glucose target range due to the limited meter user interface. The colored blood glucose scale is static and positioned adjacent to the indicator, eg, by being molded into the housing, printed on the housing, or attached to a display. The low cost user interface has a monochrome segmented display with segments serving as multiple indicators. The indicator scale module uses the diabetic's target blood glucose range to calculate the blood glucose range for each indicator to index the colored blood glucose measurement scale. The indicator scale module is also capable of assigning attributes to indicators, eg, flashing. A graphical representation of the user's blood glucose measurement assists the user in interpretation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to handheld in vitro analyte meters, such as blood glucose meters, and more particularly to user interfaces. Background technique [0002] Diabetes mellitus (often called diabetes) is a chronic disease in which a person's blood sugar levels rise because the body is unable to produce insulin, use insulin, or both. There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes typically strikes children and young adults and is associated with, for example, autoimmune disease, genetic disease, environmental disease, or a combination of these. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90-95% of diabetes cases and is associated with obesity and physical inactivity. Gestational diabetes is a form of glucose intolerance diagnosed during pregnancy and usually resolves soon after delivery. [0003] In 2013, according to the International Diabetes Foundation Diabetes Dataset, approximately 382 million people worldwide were estimated to have diabete...
