Method And Glucose Monitoring System For Monitoring Individual Metabolic Response

A glucose monitoring system for monitoring glycemic response in a qualified subject and for generating nutritional feedback, comprising:

• a measuring device comprising a sensor for consecutively performing a plurality of measurements of a glucose level in the qualified subject and comprising a data generator for generating first data corresponding to the measured glucose level;
• an analysis device comprising a computer to generate second data from the first data, the second data representing a glycemic response of the subject and the generation of the second data involving comparing a time-series of glucose measurements represented by the first data with a reference value for the fasting glucose level of the subject, and to compare the second data with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the qualified subject, the individual glycemic response budget representing a total amount of individual glycemic response allowable for a certain time period;
• and
• a computer-controlled output device to provide feedback corresponding to a result of the comparison.

A computer program product including program code which when executed on an analysis device carries out the following steps:

• generating second data representing a glycemic response of a qualified subject from first data, involving comparing a time-series of glucose measurements in a qualified subject, represented by the first data, with a reference value for the fasting glucose level of the subject;
• comparing the second data with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the qualified subject, the individual glycemic response budget representing a total amount of individual glycemic response allowable for a certain time period;
• and
• generating at least one quantity relating to nutritional feedback based on the result of the comparison.
