embodiment 100

[0034]FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment 100 of FIG. 1A, showing an optimized exercise program being transferred from the computer 104 to the MP3 player 106.

[0035]FIG. 1C is a perspective view of the exerciser 102 carrying out an optimized exercise program on an exercise apparatus 116 that is available to the exerciser 102 due to membership at a gym. The MP3 player 106 is secured to an arm 118 of the exerciser 102, and is in wired communication with the blood glucose monitor 108 worn by the exerciser 102 near her wrist. During the exercise session, the MP3 player 106 displays the blood glucose level of the exerciser 102 on its visual display 114, and transmits an alarm tone to the exerciser 102 through the headphones 112 if the exerciser's blood glucose level fluctuates outside of a specified range. In similar embodiments, the MP3 player reports the exerciser's blood glucose level to the exerciser 102, and / or reports blood glucose parameters such as an average...

embodiment 400

[0041]FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an embodiment 400 in which a workout log is emailed by the exerciser to a medical facility, where it is printed on paper 402 so that it can be reviewed by the exerciser's doctor. As an alternative, the workout log 402 can be printed by the exerciser 102 and mailed to the healthcare provider, or brought by the exerciser 102 to a medical appointment. It can also be downloaded to a memory stick or to any other medium that can be readily transferred by the exerciser 102 to the health care provider, or it can also be transmitted to the health care provider by email or any other convenient electronic means.

[0042]FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment 500 in which the computer software of the present invention enables a diabetic exerciser 102 to use the computer 104 to communicate with an advising professional 502. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the exerciser 102 is communicating in a real-time video-chat format. In preferred embodiments,...

Abstract

A system is disclosed for optimizing exercise training of a diabetic exerciser. Computer software accepts physical status data and, in preferred embodiments, information regarding available exercise equipment, and formulates therefrom an optimized diet and exercise program, which is downloaded to an MP3 player or similar portable electronic device. The portable device directs the exerciser during workouts, while communicating with a blood glucose monitor and preferably with a heart rate monitor so as to monitor the exerciser's blood glucose level and heart rate during exercise, and warn the exerciser if the blood glucose level exceeds specified bounds. The portable device records a log of physiological data, exercise performed, and food consumed, for later upload to the computer and possible transmission to a healthcare provider. Preferred embodiments include only software. Other embodiments include a portable device, blood glucose monitor, heart rate monitor, or communications enabler.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention generally relates to exercise training, and more specifically to exercise training of diabetic exercisers.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Exercise is generally known to have many benefits for individuals of all ages. These benefits include improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure, prevention of bone and muscle loss, maintenance of a healthy weight, improved psychological heath, and many others.[0003]For exercisers who are diabetic, the benefits are even greater. Regular exercise can help the body respond to insulin, and is known to be effective in managing blood glucose, thereby reducing or even eliminating the need for medication. Exercise can also improve circulation, especially in the arms and legs where diabetics often experience circulatory and other difficulties.[0004]However, vigorous exercise can cause special problems, and can even be dangerous, for people with diabetes, since exercise can cause blood sugar levels to ...
