A health-monitoring device assesses the health of a user based on levels of two analytes in a biological fluid. A first analyte that is utilized to assess a user's health is a fat metabolism analyte, such as ketones, free fatty acids and glycerol, which is indicative of fat metabolism. A second analyte that is utilized is a glucose metabolism analyte, such as glucose. The levels of the two analytes may be used to assess insulin sensitivity, to detect both recent hypoglycemia and the cause of high glucose levels, and/or to guide therapeutic intervention. The dual analyte model may calculate a discrepancy between an actual insulin activity level and a theoretical insulin activity level. The dual analyte model of the present invention may be used to identify individuals at risk for metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and non-insulin dependent diabetes, and allows monitoring of the progression of those disease states, as well as progress made by therapeutic interventions.

A system and method provides a glucose report for determining glycemic risk based on an ambulatory glucose profile of glucose data over a time period, a glucose control assessment based on median and variability of glucose, and indicators of high glucose variability. Time of day periods are shown at which glucose levels can be seen. A median glucose goal and a low glucose line provide coupled with glucose variability provide a view into effects that raising or lowering the median goal would have. Likelihood of low glucose, median glucose compared to goal, and variability of glucose below median provide probabilities based on glucose data. Patterns can be seen and provide guidance for treatment.

The invention relates to a method for minimizing mean blood glucose levels in an insulin dependent patient by administering insulin to the patient in a sufficiently fast manner to provide a difference of 50% or less between high and low blood glucose levels. Advantageously, the insulin is administered to the patient by jet injection and the high and low blood glucose levels differ by an amount that is less than that which would be obtained after injection of insulin by a conventional needle syringe. The invention also relates to a method for reducing mean blood glucose levels in an insulin dependent patient that is receiving insulin through a conventional syringe and needle arrangement. This method provides for administration of the insulin to the patient by jet injection rather than by the syringe by substituting a jet injector for the syringe.
