Claim:
1. A system for optimizing a patient's basal insulin dosage regimen over time, comprising: a blood glucose meter for receiving a patient blood sample and generating a blood glucose data set corresponding to a blood glucose value of the patient blood sample, detecting means that detect when a patient-actuated operation is performed, the operation being indicative of an administration of a dose of an insulin containing drug, memory means that to store: blood glucose data sets corresponding to a plurality of blood glucose values as a function of time, data representing detected patient-actuated operations as a function of time, and data representing an initial basal insulin dosage regimen, a processor operatively connected to the memory means, the processor being programmed to determine, based on blood glucose data sets determined at a plurality of times, whether and by how much to vary a component in a present insulin dosage regimen in order to maintain future blood-glucose-level measurements within a predefined range, and output means that communicate to the patient a component in the patient's insulin dosage regimen, wherein the processor is programmed to disregard a given blood glucose data set if no patient-actuated operation has been detected in a pre-defined amount of time prior to generating the given data set.
