Flexible glucose analysis using varying time report deltas and configurable glucose target ranges

A method of selecting variable threshold parameters to be utilized in a report to assist a patient in diabetes therapy management, comprising:

• selecting a first low threshold glucose reading for a before meal event timeframe;
• selecting a first high threshold glucose reading for the before meal event timeframe;
• selecting a second low threshold glucose reading for an after meal event timeframe;
• selecting a second high threshold glucose reading for an after meal event timeframe;
• storing the first low threshold glucose reading, the first high threshold glucose reading, the second low threshold glucose reading, and a second high threshold glucose reading in a memory in a computing device.

A program code storage device, comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium;
• computer-readable program code, the computer-readable program code including instructions, which when executed cause a computing device to:
• receive a plurality of glucose readings for a patient;
• receive a first pair of target glucose readings for a pre-meal timeframe;
• receive a second pair of target glucose readings for a post-meal timeframe, the second pair of target glucose readings having different values from the first pair of target glucose readings;
• generate a display output illustrating the first pair of target glucose readings as a first target area and the second pair of target glucose readings as a second target area, where the display output illustrates whether the plurality of glucose readings are within the first target area during the pre-meal timeframe and within the second target area during the post-meal timeframe.

A system for providing feedback to a patient, comprising:

• a user interface layer to receive a number of glucose readings for a measuring period and to receive an analysis timeframe for a meal event within the measuring period;
• a data storage device to receive the number of glucose readings from the user interface layer and store the number of glucose readings;
• a reporting layer to calculate glucose statistics for the analysis timeframe;
• and
• an output display layer to create a display output that displays the glucose statistics for the analysis timeframe and that displays an analysis area corresponding to the analysis timeframe.
