Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media manage low blood glucose levels. The system receives blood glucose readings, where each reading includes a blood glucose value and a respective timestamp. The system compares each blood glucose reading to a predefined hypoglycemic event threshold, and identifies hypoglycemic events when a respective blood glucose reading is below the predefined hypoglycemic event threshold. For at least a subset of the identified hypoglycemic events, the system prompts a user for information associated with each hypoglycemic event. The information requested includes one or more of: symptoms associated with the respective hypoglycemic event; perceived causes of the respective hypoglycemic event; and treatment for the respective hypoglycemic event. In response to the prompting, the system obtains feedback about the identified hypoglycemic events and provides a report that includes at least a subset of the obtained feedback.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method for understanding and managing low blood glucose levels, comprising:

at a computer system having one or more processors, a display device, and memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors:
receiving a plurality of blood glucose readings for a person, wherein each reading includes:
a blood glucose value;
and
a timestamp indicating when the respective reading was taken;
comparing each blood glucose reading of the plurality to a predefined hypoglycemic event threshold, and identifying a hypoglycemic event when the respective blood glucose reading is below the predefined hypoglycemic event threshold;
for at least a subset of the identified hypoglycemic events, prompting the person to provide information associated with each hypoglycemic event using a graphical user interface on the display device, the information including one or more of:
symptoms associated with the respective hypoglycemic event;
perceived causes of the respective hypoglycemic event;
and
treatment for the respective hypoglycemic event;
in response to the prompting, obtaining feedback from the person about the identified hypoglycemic events using the graphical user interface on the display device, including recording user selection of one or more of a plurality of hypoglycemic event icons displayed in the graphical user interface;
and
providing a report on the display device that includes at least a subset of the obtained feedback.

11 more elements

A computer system, comprising:

one or more processors;
a display device;
and
memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a plurality of blood glucose readings for a person, wherein each reading includes:
a blood glucose value;
and
a timestamp indicating when the respective reading was taken;
comparing each blood glucose reading of the plurality to a predefined hypoglycemic event threshold, and identifying a hypoglycemic event when the respective blood glucose reading is below the predefined hypoglycemic event threshold;
for at least a subset of the identified hypoglycemic events, prompting the person to provide information associated with each hypoglycemic event using a graphical user interface on the display device, wherein:
the graphical user interface includes a plurality of hypoglycemic event icons, each hypoglycemic event icon including an indicator that shows how commonly the respective hypoglycemic event icon is selected by the person using (i) a numeral, (ii) icon shading, and/or (iii) icon coloring;
and
the information includes one or more of:
symptoms associated with the respective hypoglycemic event;
perceived causes of the respective hypoglycemic event;
and
treatment for the respective hypoglycemic event;
in response to the prompting, obtaining feedback from the person about the identified hypoglycemic events using the graphical user interface on the display device;
and
providing a report on the display device that includes at least a subset of the obtained feedback.
