Software applications residing on handheld analyte determining devices

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to perform upload prompts to the user;
• wherein the upload prompts direct the user to upload data prior to a scheduled HCP visit, if the user has not uploaded data within a prescribed time period, or if a previous reading was outside of a prescribe range.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to transmit or receive multiple biometrics selected from the group consisting of:
• blood glucose, ketone levels, carbohydrates consumed, and suggested insulin dosing.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to enable a third-party to perform a survey.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to perform a structured testing protocol;
• wherein the structured testing protocol is selected from the group consisting of:
• hospital admission control, high risk patient populations control, assessing efficacy of a medication therapy control, and physician visit control.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to perform an analyte test and provide a behavioral feedback message to the user.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to provide summary reports based on biometric data.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to provide heuristic meal announcements.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to provide training for pre-selected features.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to perform an analyte analysis and provide a list of complication risks based on the analyte analysis.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to determine a data storage and/or measurement schedule based on instantaneous glucose information and glucose rate of change information.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to randomly generate analyte measurement times and/or analyte measurement storage times.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to provide a single, user-adjustable parameter, wherein the parameter favors a maximally lag-corrected glucose signal processing in one end of the parameter's range and a maximally smoothed glucose signal processing at the other end of the parameter's range.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to provide multiple test reminders to a user of the system, wherein the reminders are configured to occur over one or more periods of time.

A diabetes management system, comprising:

• an analyte meter having one or more computer-readable storage medium having instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to provide a pick-list for associating an adverse glucose event with a patient activity occurring at or in proximity to the time of the adverse glucose event.
