An information processing method performed by a processor including a processing device and a memory storing instructions for performing the method, the method comprising:

• obtaining blood-sugar level information and electronic payments information of a patient, the blood-sugar level information being obtained from a blood-sugar level meter and the electronic payments information including information regarding goods purchased by the patient;
• calculating a calorie value based on the information regarding goods purchased;
• calculating a future estimated blood-sugar level based on the blood-sugar level information and the calorie value using a predetermined metabolism model;
• and
• outputting the future estimated blood-sugar level as an image or a sound signal for action by the patient, including outputting a warning when the future estimated blood-sugar level does not fall within a suitable range.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, perform an information processing method comprising:

• obtaining blood-sugar level information and electronic payments information of a patient, the blood-sugar level information being obtained from a blood-sugar level meter and the electronic payments information including information regarding goods purchased by the patient;
• calculating a calorie value based on the information regarding goods purchased;
• calculating a future estimated blood-sugar level based on the blood-sugar level information and the calorie value using a predetermined metabolism model;
• and
• outputting the future estimated blood-sugar level as an image or a sound signal for action by the patient, including outputting a warning when the future estimated blood-sugar level does not fall within a suitable range.
