Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for monitoring glycemic levels in a patient, by calculate a plurality of blood glucose values from a plurality of blood samples taken, calculating a quantile of the blood glucose values taken over a period of days; and creating a Lorenz plot for the blood glucose values in the quantile.
Claims20
A device for monitoring glycemic levels in a patient, said device comprising:
- a housing;
- a processor coupled to memory;
- an interface for inputting to said processor;
- a display for displaying results of processing by said processor;
- and
- a port configured to receive a blood glucose monitoring strip that is used to take a blood sample from the patient, and from which said processor calculates a blood glucose value;
- wherein said processor, interface and port are contained in said housing, and wherein said interface is mounted in said housing;
- and
- wherein said processor is configured to:
- calculate a plurality of said blood glucose values from a plurality of blood samples taken from a plurality of said blood glucose monitoring strips;
- calculate a quantile of said blood glucose values taken over a period of days;
- create a Lorenz plot for said blood glucose values in said quantile;
- and
- display said Lorenz plot.

A system for monitoring glycemic levels in a patient, system comprising:
- a processor coupled to memory;
- and
- an interface for receiving input to and outputting from said processor;
- wherein said processor is configured to:
- receive or calculate a plurality of said blood glucose values from a plurality of blood samples taken from a plurality of said blood glucose monitoring strips;
- calculate a quantile of said blood glucose values taken over a period of days;
- create a Lorenz plot for said blood glucose values in said quantile;
- and
- output said Lorenz plot.
6 more elements
A method of monitoring glycemia, said method comprising:
- receiving or calculating inter-day blood glucose values from blood samples taken from a patient on specified days;
- calculating a quantile from said inter-day blood glucose values;
- calculating orbits for said quantile;
- creating a Lorenz plot for said quantile;
- and
- identifying at least one of:
- one or more days during which extreme glycemia was experienced for said quantile, and prediction of when extreme glycemia is expected to be experienced for said quantile.
