Description

Blood glucose management systems used in hospitals Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the field of diabetes monitoring and management, and in particular to a blood glucose management system used in hospitals. Background Art

[0002] In a healthy individual, the pancreas automatically monitors blood glucose levels and secretes the necessary insulin and glucagon. However, in diabetics, the pancreas malfunctions, preventing it from producing the necessary insulin. Therefore, diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by abnormal pancreatic function and is a lifelong condition. Currently, medical technology cannot cure diabetes; the only approach is to control the onset and progression of diabetes and its complications by stabilizing blood sugar levels.

[0003] Diabetic patients need to monitor their blood sugar before injecting insulin. Currently, most monitoring methods use internal blood sugar monitoring devices to continuously monitor blood sugar. These devices use disposable transcutaneous sensors inserted into the skin to measure blood sugar concentrations in the interstitial fluid and transmit the data in real time to an external device via a transmitter for easy viewing by the patient. This monitoring method is called continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

[0004] General diabetic patients can achieve self-monitoring and management of blood sugar through continuous blood glucose monitoring. For diabetic patients with more serious conditions, they need to be hospitalized and adopt targeted treatment plans through doctor's intervention to restore the blood sugar level of diabetic patients to a relatively stable state. At the same time, personalized medication, diet and exercise plans are provided to facilitate patients to achieve self-monitoring and management of blood sugar after discharge.

[0005] Current blood glucose management systems used in hospitals also use disposable transcutaneous sensors worn on the body to continuously monitor blood glucose data. A transmitter connects to a data receiving device (hereinafter referred to as a receiver) and transmits data. The receiver then sends the blood glucose data to a user terminal for medical staff to view and display, allowing medical staff to view the patient's blood glucose data. Some in-hospital blood glucose management systems use multiple transmitters to send data to the same receiver, while others use a single transmitter to send data to a corresponding receiver. Current in-hospital blood glucose monitoring devices typically have a service life of 7-14 days. To conserve battery power and extend the lifespan of the monitoring device, the transmitter of a blood glucose monitoring device typically communicates with the receiver via Bluetooth. Bluetooth's effective communication range is generally 0-20 meters. When one transmitter corresponds to one receiver, if a patient wearing the transmitter leaves the hospital room, the distance between the transmitter and receiver is likely to exceed the transmitter's effective communication range, preventing the receiver from receiving real-time blood glucose data and uploading it to the medical staff's user terminal for display. Consequently, diabetic patients are often restricted to a specific hospital room, which not only creates a strong sense of confinement for patients but also may affect their other examinations or surgeries. When blood glucose data from multiple transmitters are sent to the same receiver, not only is there the problem of communication distance limitation, but if the relationship between the multiple transmitters and the patient information does not match, the blood glucose data received by the receiver cannot be identified and classified according to the patient, resulting in confusion in the matching of blood glucose data and patients, further affecting the doctor's correct treatment of the patient and endangering the patient's life safety.

[0006] Therefore, the existing technology urgently needs a blood glucose management system for use in hospitals that does not restrict the patient's range of activities, does not cause the patient to feel restrained, and can correctly match the patient's blood glucose data with the blood glucose data emitted by the transmitter.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention discloses a blood glucose management system for use in a hospital, comprising at least one blood glucose monitoring device, multiple receivers, a central server, and a terminal device used by medical staff. The receiver receives blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and uploads it to the central server. The medical staff communicates with the central server by using the terminal device and displays or views the blood glucose data information. Since any of the multiple receivers can receive blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and upload it to the central server, the patient's range of activities in the hospital is no longer restricted, thereby improving the patient experience and keeping the patient in a good mood. At the same time, the doctor can understand the patient's blood glucose level in real time through the terminal device used by the medical staff, and deal with any abnormal situation in time, thereby maintaining the patient's blood glucose level stable.

[0024] According to one aspect of the present invention, the monitoring screen prominently displays the patient's abnormal blood sugar condition.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0026] The blood glucose management system disclosed in the present invention for use in a hospital includes at least one blood glucose monitoring device, multiple receivers, a central server, and a terminal device used by medical staff. Any of the multiple receivers can receive blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and upload it to the central server. Therefore, the patient's range of activities in the hospital is no longer restricted, and the patient remains in a good mood. At the same time, the doctor can understand the patient's blood glucose level in real time through the terminal device used by medical staff, and deal with any abnormal situation in time, so that the patient's blood glucose level remains stable.

[0027] Furthermore, the blood glucose data information monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device worn by the patient can be received by the receiver within the optimal communication distance at any time, which saves the power consumption of the transmitter and prevents each receiver from receiving the data and uploading it to the central server, causing duplication of blood glucose data information and occupying the storage space of the central server.

[0028] Furthermore, each blood glucose monitoring device is provided with a unique identifier. The transmitter transmits the identifier information at the same time as the blood glucose data information. The medical staff binds the patient's personal information and identifier information through the medical staff user terminal device and uploads them to the central server. The central server simultaneously stores the corresponding blood glucose monitoring data information and identifier information, and the corresponding patient's personal information and identifier information. Therefore, the patient's personal information and blood glucose monitoring data information can be matched through the identifier information, avoiding the problem of confusion in matching blood glucose data with patients, thereby affecting the doctor's correct treatment of the patient and endangering the patient's life safety.

[0029] Furthermore, the medical staff end device includes one or more processors, allowing multiple individuals with different access levels to modify the settings of the medical staff end device, preventing erroneous operations by persons without corresponding authority levels, and ensuring the safety of patients' diabetes treatment.

[0030] Furthermore, the terminal device used by medical staff includes global blood sugar alarm settings and personal blood sugar alarm settings, which facilitates the doctor's operation and makes it easier for medical staff to make personalized settings for different patients.

[0031] Furthermore, the terminal device used by medical staff includes a display for displaying the patient's real-time blood sugar data and historical blood sugar trend chart. By switching different time period options, the display shows the blood sugar monitoring trend chart of the corresponding time period. The operation is simple, which makes it convenient for medical staff to view the blood sugar trend charts of different time periods.

[0032] Furthermore, the blood glucose management system used in the hospital includes personal diabetes management devices. Medical staff use the terminal device to limit the patient's operation on the personal diabetes management device through the lock mode. On the one hand, it is convenient for patients to understand their blood glucose information at the first time, and at the same time learn and become proficient in using the personal diabetes management device, so that they can use the personal diabetes management device to monitor and manage blood glucose levels after discharge. On the other hand, the patient's operation on the personal diabetes management device can also be limited by the lock mode at specific times to prevent patients from operating it incorrectly.

[0039] As mentioned above, the blood glucose management system currently used in hospitals sends data from multiple transmitters to the same receiver, or one transmitter sends data to a corresponding receiver. Due to the limitation of the communication distance of the transmitter, the patient's range of activities is likely to be restricted to the ward, which will not only give the patient a strong sense of being restrained, but may also affect the patient's other examinations or operations.

[0040] In order to solve this problem, a blood glucose management system used in hospitals includes at least one blood glucose monitoring device, multiple receivers, a central server and terminal devices used by medical staff. The receiver receives the blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and uploads it to the central server. Medical staff communicate with the central server by using the terminal device and display or view the blood glucose data information. Since any of the multiple receivers can receive the blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and upload it to the central server, the patient's range of activities in the hospital is no longer restricted, which improves the patient experience and keeps the patient in a good mood. At the same time, the doctor can understand the patient's blood glucose level in real time through the terminal device used by medical staff, and deal with any abnormal situation in time, so that the patient's blood glucose level remains stable.

[0041] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Technologies, methods, and apparatus known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail herein, but to the extent applicable, such technologies, methods, and apparatuses should be considered part of this specification.

[0044] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined or described in one figure, it will not need to be further discussed in the subsequent figure descriptions.

[0045] FIG1 is a topological diagram of a blood glucose management system used in a hospital according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, a blood glucose management system used in a hospital includes a blood glucose monitoring device 11 used by a patient, which is used to monitor the patient's blood glucose level in real time and is installed on the patient through an auxiliary installation device. The device includes an implantable sensor, which is connected to a transmitter. The transmitter also includes a memory, a processor, a communication interface, etc. The transmitter is used to transmit blood glucose data information monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device, as well as an identifier of the blood glucose monitoring device 11, etc.; a receiver group 12 includes multiple receivers, any one of which can be used to receive and relay information transmitted by the transmitter, and can be distributed in various locations in the hospital as needed, such as wards, doctors' offices, monitoring rooms, operating rooms, washrooms, etc., for receiving various types of data information from the blood glucose monitoring device 11, such as patient blood glucose data information, identifiers of the blood glucose monitoring device 11, etc. The receivers It can include storage, processor, communication interface, etc., and can also send various data information received from the transmitter to other devices; a central server 13 for storing various data information, a data center or a cloud, hereinafter collectively referred to as the central server 13, the central server 13 includes storage, processor, communication interface, etc., can receive and store various data information from various receivers, and can also communicate with external devices, the external devices can be receivers or medical staff end devices 14, etc.; medical staff end devices 14, such as a mobile device 141 with an operating system for interacting with the central server 13, a hospital information system (HIS system) 142 for viewing or deleting reports, a large monitoring screen 143 for displaying blood sugar information of all patients, etc., can include storage, processor, communication interface, display, user interface, etc. Wireless communication is performed between the blood glucose monitoring device 11 and the multiple receivers of the receiver group 12, between the receiver group 12 and the central server 13, and between the central server 13 and the various devices of the medical personnel user terminal 14. The wireless communication can be performed by, for example, but not limited to, radio frequency (RF) communication (e.g., radio frequency identification (RFID), Zigbee communication protocol, WiFi, infrared, wireless universal serial bus (USB), ultra-wideband (UWB), Communication protocols and cellular communications, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Preferably, the blood glucose monitoring device 11 communicates with the multiple receivers of the receiver group 12 via the Bluetooth communication protocol, and the receiver group 12 and the central server 13, as well as the central server 13 and the devices of the medical staff user terminal 14, communicate via WiFi and / or cellular communications.

[0047] No matter where the patient is in the hospital, the data transmitted by the transmitter will be received by the receiver at the optimal communication distance, avoiding all receivers or multiple receivers in the receiver group 12 receiving data. On the one hand, it saves the power consumption of the transmitter, and on the other hand, it prevents each receiver from receiving data and uploading it to the central server, causing duplication of blood glucose data information, and also taking up the storage space of the central server.

[0048] The blood glucose monitoring device 11 is a wearable continuous glucose monitoring device (hereinafter referred to as CGM). The CGM includes a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is used to collect analyte content in the human body and transmit the collected analyte content information. That is, the sensor is used to collect blood glucose data information in the human body and transmit it. The transmitter is connected to the sensor and is used to receive blood glucose data information transmitted by the sensor implanted subcutaneously and convert it into a wireless signal for output. It can also output other information, such as CGM identifier information. Each CGM has a unique identifier, including but not limited to a device identifier, a hardware identifier, a universally unique identifier, a serial number, an identifier based on a communication protocol (such as a BLE ID), a manufacturer's identifier, etc. Preferably, the identifier information is such as the CGM serial number, which is formed by a combination of multiple randomly combined numbers and letters. The serial number can be set on the CGM housing or packaging, and can also be set differently depending on the type of CGM.

[0049] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the CGM is an integrated structure, that is, the sensor and transmitter are integrated together before use, and it is a disposable product that is discarded after use, as shown in Figure 2, which is a schematic structural diagram of an integrated continuous blood glucose monitoring device. The integrated continuous blood glucose monitoring device includes a sensor 201, a housing 202, and a transmitter (not shown in the figure) disposed within the housing 202. The sensor 301 is used to monitor the patient's body fluid blood glucose data information, transmit the above blood glucose data information to the transmitter through an internal circuit, and then send it to the receiver by the transmitter. The identifier can be set on the outer shell or outer packaging of the CGM or inside the CGM.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present invention, the CGM has a split structure, that is, the sensor and transmitter are two different components before use, packaged separately, and are integrated together when in use, as shown in Figure 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of a split continuous glucose monitor. The split continuous glucose monitoring device includes a bottom shell 301 and a transmitter 302. The bottom shell is provided with a sensor 3011, and the transmitter 302 has a separate housing. The bottom shell 301 and the transmitter 302 housing are provided with snap-fit ​​structures 3012 and 3022, respectively. When in use, the bottom shell 301 and the transmitter 302 are snapped together into a whole by the snap-fit ​​structure. The sensor 3011 is electrically connected to the transmitter 302 via an electrical connector 3013. The sensor 301 is used to monitor the patient's blood glucose data information and transmit the blood glucose data information to the transmitter 302 via the electrical connector 3013, and then the transmitter 302 sends it to the receiver.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sensor and transmitter of the split-type continuous glucose monitoring device are both disposable products that are discarded after use. Therefore, the identifier can be set on the housing or outer packaging of the sensor or transmitter. In another embodiment of the present invention, only the sensor of the split-type continuous glucose monitoring device is a disposable product, while the transmitter is a reusable product. Therefore, preferably, in this embodiment, the identifier is set on the housing or outer packaging of the transmitter, which can reduce the frequency of binding patient information and identifiers and improve the patient experience. This will be described in detail below.

[0052] When the identifier device CGM or transmitter is on the housing or outer packaging, it is provided in the form of, but not limited to, a QR code, a barcode, or an NFC tag.

[0053] When a patient is admitted to the hospital, medical staff create a new patient account using mobile device 141, pair the patient's personal information with the identifier of the CGM they are wearing, and upload the patient's personal information and corresponding identifier to the central server 13. The patient's personal information fields include name, age, gender, department, bed number, ward, diagnosis, hospitalization number, mobile phone number, etc. When the patient's CGM needs to be replaced due to reasons such as reaching the end of its service life or expiration, the unique identifier information of the new CGM also needs to be paired and updated with the patient's personal information via mobile device 141 and further uploaded to the central server 13. The central server 13 stores the patient's personal information and corresponding identifier information. The patient's personal information can be entered manually or by scanning the patient's hospitalization bracelet to automatically match the relevant information. The identifier information can also be entered manually or by scanning a QR code, barcode, or NFC tag on the CGM housing or outer packaging.

[0054] When the CGM is a split structure and the transmitter is reusable, the CGM identifier is set on the outer shell or packaging of the transmitter. When the patient replaces the CGM, he only needs to replace the sensor without replacing the transmitter, and the CGM identifier remains unchanged. Therefore, there is no need to update the pairing of the CGM identifier and the patient's personal information through the mobile device 141, and there is no need to further upload it to the central server 13. Therefore, the operation steps can be reduced and the patient experience can be improved.

[0055] Once the CGM is worn and operational, it transmits a wireless signal after each blood glucose monitoring session. As previously mentioned, the CGM preferably transmits a Bluetooth signal. Theoretically, each receiver in the receiver group 12 can receive the CGM's Bluetooth signal. However, once a receiver within the optimal communication range receives the CGM's Bluetooth signal, the transmitter stops transmitting the blood glucose data signal for that particular blood glucose monitoring session. This saves transmitter power and prevents each receiver from receiving and uploading data to the central server, which would cause duplicate blood glucose data and occupy central server storage space. The Bluetooth signal contains the CGM's current blood glucose monitoring data and the corresponding CGM identifier. Receivers within the optimal communication range receive the CGM's current blood glucose data and the corresponding CGM identifier, and then upload them to the central server 13. When the patient is in different locations, the current blood glucose data and the corresponding CGM identifier transmitted by the transmitter will be received by different receivers within the optimal communication range. After receiving the current blood glucose data and the corresponding CGM identifier transmitted by the CGM, each receiver will upload the corresponding information to the central server 13. That is, the central server 13 may store all blood glucose data information and corresponding identifier information received from different receivers.

[0056] Therefore, the storage module of the central server 13 simultaneously stores the corresponding blood glucose data information and identifier information, as well as the corresponding patient personal information and identifier information. Generally, the corresponding blood glucose data information and identifier information, and the corresponding patient personal information and identifier information are stored in different storage modules of the central server 13. However, the two sets of data are mutually associated, and the patient personal information and blood glucose data information can be paired using the identifier information, as shown in FIG4 .

[0057] As mentioned above, when a patient is admitted to the hospital, the medical staff will create a new patient account through the mobile device 141 used to implement the patient management function. In addition, the medical staff can also implement account management, device management, blood glucose data information viewing and report printing functions. Specifically:

[0058] When managing patients, after clicking on the new account, you can scan the patient's bracelet or manually enter the patient's personal information, scan or manually enter the CGM identifier information, and complete the patient's personal information verification through the mobile phone verification code to complete the addition of the patient account. When you need to delete the patient account, you can also delete the corresponding account by clicking Delete.

[0059] During account management, mobile device 141 is equipped with one or more processors, allowing multiple individuals with varying levels of access to modify the mobile device's settings. A attending physician can create a master HCP account, which can then create HCP sub-accounts, add patients, view all patient information, and view operation records for the master HCP account and HCP sub-accounts. The physician also manages hospital-wide HCP sub-accounts, departments, and patients, and has read and write permissions for HCP sub-accounts and departments. Furthermore, the physician can assign access permissions to HCP sub-accounts. For example, a resident physician can be assigned edit permissions to an HCP sub-account, allowing them to modify patient information in the department, add patients, and view all patient information. A nurse, on the other hand, can only be assigned view permissions to an HCP sub-account, allowing them to view all patient information in the department.

[0060] When performing device management, the mobile device 141 can view the status of all connected transmitters and receivers, and can add or delete transmitters and receivers.

[0061] Mobile device 141 can also set blood glucose alarms, including global and individual blood glucose alarms. The global blood glucose alarm is the default alarm for all patients. Global blood glucose alarm settings include high blood glucose thresholds, such as 13.3 mmol / L; low blood glucose thresholds, such as 4.4 mmol / L; predicted blood glucose alarms, such as if blood glucose levels rise to 13.3 mmol / L or even 22.2 mmol / L within a certain timeframe (e.g., half an hour or one hour), or fall to 4.4 mmol / L or even 2.2 mmol / L within a certain timeframe; blood glucose rate of change alarms, such as if the rate of rapid rise / fall reaches 0.110 mmol / L / min or even 0.170 mmol / L / min; and low blood glucose alarms, such as if blood glucose falls below 3.1 mmol / L. Global blood glucose alarm settings set the same high / low blood glucose thresholds for all patients. Once any patient's blood glucose level reaches the set thresholds, mobile device 141 will issue an alarm. Depending on the settings, the alarm prompts can include sound, vibration, or a combination of text alerts. The sound type, volume, duration, frequency interval, etc. of the sound prompt; the vibration type, vibration intensity, duration, frequency interval, etc. of the vibration prompt; the type of interface text alarm, the frequency of the alarm, etc. can all be personalized according to actual needs or patient preferences, and can also be set with reference to the content disclosed in patent PCT / CN2022 / 119084.

[0062] Generally, the blood glucose alarm settings for newly added patients are set to be consistent with the global alarm settings by default. If the blood glucose alarm threshold to be set is inconsistent with the global blood glucose alarm threshold due to the patient's physical condition or is in a special stage, such as pregnancy, or due to other diseases, a specific personal blood glucose alarm can be set on the patient management page.

[0063] When medical staff need to view the patient's blood glucose monitoring data or print a report, they input the patient information into the operating system of the mobile device 141 or the HIS system 142. Through the corresponding relationship between the identification code and the patient, they can find the corresponding patient's blood glucose data information on the data storage device and display the patient's blood glucose data information on the display.

[0064] Specifically, when viewing blood glucose data on mobile device 141, the patient's current blood glucose data and blood glucose trend arrows can be displayed on the real-time monitoring page of patient management. Blood glucose data for recent periods of time, such as 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours, can also be displayed in a curve format. By switching between different time period options, a blood glucose monitoring trend chart for the corresponding time period can be displayed. Similarly, when printing a report, the desired report time and report type can be selected on the print report page of patient management. The report can then be printed, and the electronic copy of the blood glucose report will be automatically saved on mobile device 141. Report types include a comprehensive blood glucose monitoring report, an automatic glucose profile (AGP) chart, and a detailed daily graph. The comprehensive report includes daily and overall statistics of the measured glucose values ​​during the monitoring period. Statistical parameters include: number of measurement points; mean; standard deviation; coefficient of variation; average fluctuation range; maximum / minimum blood glucose values; and blood glucose distribution. The AGP chart displays a blood glucose AGP profile and a blood glucose distribution bar chart for the monitoring period. The following statistics are provided: CGM usage time percentage, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, estimated A1C, mean fluctuation range, mean daily difference, number of daily high / low blood sugar events, etc. The daily detailed graph shows the blood sugar trend graph and simple statistics for each day during the monitoring period.

[0065] The HIS system digitizes, manages, and processes data across all hospital departments and medical activities through network management. It encompasses all aspects of information management, primarily encompassing administrative management systems, medical management systems, decision support systems, and various other auxiliary systems. The medical management system primarily processes information related to the hospital's medical operations, including outpatient and emergency management systems, medical record management systems, medical statistics and query systems, and blood bank management systems. Within the medical management system, users can search, delete, view, and print various patient blood sugar data reports.

[0066] The monitoring screen 143 used by the nurses' station displays blood glucose data for all monitored patients, as shown in FIG5 . Information about patients with abnormal blood glucose data, such as their bed number, name, and abnormal blood glucose data, is also highlighted. Abnormal blood glucose readings are highlighted in different colors, such as yellow for high blood glucose readings and red for low blood glucose readings. The patient's abnormal blood glucose status is also displayed separately on the monitoring screen 143 in text form. Each patient's blood glucose monitoring data is shown in FIG6 , including bed number 601, name 602, most recent blood glucose reading 603, blood glucose trend arrow 604, blood glucose trend graph 605, probe status 606, and calibration icon 607. Through the monitoring screen 143, medical staff, such as nurses, can quickly and clearly understand the blood glucose monitoring status of all patients, allowing them to promptly address any unexpected or urgent situations or provide feedback to their doctors.

[0067] The mobile device 141, HIS system 142, and monitoring screen 143 are different display devices that can provide different user interfaces. The content displayed on the interface, such as the amount, format and / or type of data to be displayed, alarms, etc., can be customized by the manufacturer and / or end user for each specific display device.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention, when a patient is in a hospital, a personal diabetes management device may also be configured for the patient, that is, the blood glucose management device used in the hospital may also include a personal diabetes management device, and the personal diabetes management device is matched with the blood glucose monitoring device through the identifier information of the blood glucose monitoring device used by the patient, and wireless communication may be performed through, for example, but not limited to, radio frequency (RF) communication (e.g., radio frequency identification (RFID), Zigbee communication protocol, WiFi, infrared, wireless universal serial bus (USB), ultra-wide band (UWB), Communication protocols and cellular communications, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Preferably, the personal diabetes management device communicates with the blood glucose monitoring device via Bluetooth, so that the patient can understand his or her blood glucose information at the first time, learn and become proficient in using the personal diabetes management device, and use the management device to monitor and manage blood glucose levels after discharge. When the patient is an elderly person or a young child, or a diabetic patient with a special disease who is unable to perform self-blood glucose monitoring, the medical staff can use the lock mode on the mobile device 141 to limit the patient's operation on the personal diabetes management device, so that the patient cannot view real-time blood glucose data information on the personal diabetes management device, cannot receive blood glucose alarms, cannot change alarm settings, etc., which can prevent the patient from misoperating the personal diabetes management device, such as deleting the device, disconnecting the personal diabetes management device from the CGM, and thus affecting the normal blood glucose monitoring of the CGM; not accepting blood glucose alarms can also avoid interference or impact of blood glucose alarms on the patient.

[0069] In other embodiments of the present invention, the blood glucose management device used in the hospital may further include a secondary management device, which is also matched with the blood glucose monitoring device through the identifier information of the blood glucose monitoring device used by the patient, and communicates with the patient through wireless communication, which may be through, for example, but not limited to, radio frequency (RF) communication (e.g., radio frequency identification (RFID), Zigbee communication protocol, WiFi, infrared, wireless universal serial bus (USB), ultra-wide band (UWB), Communication protocols and cellular communications, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Preferably, the personal diabetes management device communicates with the blood glucose monitoring device via Bluetooth. Although patients can monitor their own blood glucose, guardians or medical staff can also use a secondary management device to keep abreast of the patient's blood glucose level. In this case, the content displayed on the secondary management device is consistent with the content displayed on the personal diabetes management device. When the user of the secondary management device is a medical staff, the secondary management device and the medical staff-user end device 141 can be the same device.

[0070] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a blood glucose management system for use in a hospital, comprising at least one blood glucose monitoring device, multiple receivers, a central server, and a terminal device used by medical staff. The receiver receives blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and uploads it to the central server. Medical staff communicate with the central server by using the terminal device and display or view the blood glucose data information. Since any of the multiple receivers can receive blood glucose data monitored by the blood glucose monitoring device and upload it to the central server, the patient's range of activities in the hospital is no longer restricted, and the patient remains in a good mood. At the same time, the doctor can understand the patient's blood glucose level in real time through the terminal device used by the medical staff, and deal with any abnormal situation in a timely manner, thereby maintaining the patient's blood glucose level stable.
