System, tools, devices and a program for diabetes care

A device for determining a postprandial blood glucose concentration for a person with diabetes which takes into account factors or variables in a treatment of the diabetes, the device being one of a blood glucose meter comprising a strip measurement device, a continuous glucose monitor, or an insulin pump comprising:

• a processor adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to provide at least one of a result, advice, and information regarding a determined postprandial blood glucose concentration for the person with diabetes based on at least one result of an analysis of glucose;
• wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to provide said at least one of a result, advice, and information based on at least one of:
• a preprandial glucose concentration measurement by self-monitoring of glucose;
• an effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose increase;
• an estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal;
• an effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose decrease;
• and
• an insulin dosage;
• wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to determine whether to display said at least one of a result, advice, and information based at least in part on an effect of measurement errors on the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration and associated with a preprandial glucose concentration measurement by self-monitoring of glucose and at least one of:
• an effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose increase;
• an estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal;
• an effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose decrease;
• and
• an insulin dosage;
• wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to, display said at least one of a result, advice and information when the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors is in a first measurement range or several first measurement ranges indicative of normoglycemia, and to inhibit the display of the result, advice and information when the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors is in a second measurement range or in several second measurement ranges outside a range indicative of normoglycemia such that a critical point is reached indicative of one of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and display a warning, a corrected treatment advice, or corrected information;
• and
• wherein the processor is further adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to calculate postprandial glucose values based on a therapeutic action scheme.

• wherein when the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors is outside a range indicative of normoglycemia such that a critical point is reached indicative of one of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, the processor is adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to display a warning, a corrected treatment advice, or corrected information.

An improved graphical user interface (GUI) display on an electronic device with a memory and a processor to execute one or more programs stored in memory for determining a postprandial blood glucose concentration for a person with diabetes which takes into account factors or variables in a treatment of the diabetes, the electronic device being one of a blood glucose meter comprising a strip measurement device, a continuous glucose monitor, or an insulin pump, the improved GUI display comprising:

• at least one of a result, advice, and information displayed in response to a determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors being in a range indicative of normoglycemia;
• and
• at least one of a warning, a corrected treatment advice, or corrected information displayed in place of said at least one of a result, advice, and information in response to the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors being outside a range indicative of normoglycemia such that a critical point is reached indicative of one of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia such that said at least one of a result, advice, and information is incorrect;
• wherein the processor is adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to:
• determine a determined postprandial blood glucose concentration for the person with diabetes, based on at least one result of an analysis of glucose;
• determine an effect of measurement errors on the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration, the measurement errors associated with at least two of:
• a preprandial glucose concentration measurement by self-monitoring of glucose;
• an effect of carbohydrate-portion on maximum glucose increase;
• an estimate of carbohydrate amount in a meal;
• an effect of prandial insulin on maximum glucose decrease;
• and
• an insulin dosage;
• determine said at least one of a result, advice, and information regarding the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors to display in response to the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors being in a range indicative of normoglycemia;
• and
• determine said at least one of a warning, a corrected treatment advice, or corrected information to display in response to the determined postprandial blood glucose concentration including the effect of measurement errors being outside of the range indicative of normoglycemia such that a critical point is reached indicative of one of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
