Abstract:
1. A blood glucose measuring device comprising: a patient ID reading section for acquiring a patient ID assigned to a patient; a blood glucose measuring section for measuring blood glucose level of the blood drawn from the patient; a nonvolatile storage for storing predetermined data; a prescription information table stored in the nonvolatile storage, the prescription information table having prescription information stored therein in a manner in which the prescription information can be identified by the patient ID, the prescription information including kind and dosage of drugs for being administered corresponding to the blood glucose level of each of a plurality of patients; a search section for searching, with blood glucose level and the patient ID, the prescription information table to acquire the prescription information of the patient; a display unit for displaying the prescription information acquired by the search section; an operating section for allowing an operator to input, in a state where the prescription information is displayed on the display unit, whether the prescription has been executed or not; and a measurement/prescription results table stored in the nonvolatile storage, the measurement/prescription results table having: a patient ID field having the patient ID acquired by the patient ID reading section stored therein, a blood glucose level field for recording the blood glucose level of the patient measured by the blood glucose measuring section, a blood glucose measurement flag field for recording whether the blood glucose has been measured by the blood glucose measuring section or not, and an insulin administration confirmation flag field for recording whether the prescription has been executed or not after the prescription information has been displayed by the display unit; the blood glucose measuring device further comprising: a recording section; and a control section; wherein, when obtaining the blood glucose level from the blood glucose measuring section, the recording section records the blood glucose level in the blood glucose level field and records a logical true in the blood glucose measurement flag field of a record of the measurement/prescription results table, the record being identified by the patient ID, while when obtaining operation information from the operating section, the recording section records a logical true in the insulin administration confirmation flag field of the record; wherein, after obtaining the patient ID by the patient ID reading section, the control section confirms the blood glucose measurement flag field and the insulin administration confirmation flag field of the record, and if the blood glucose measurement flag field of the record is “true” and the insulin administration confirmation flag field of the record is “false”, the control section will control the search section to obtain the prescription information, while if the blood glucose measurement flag field of the record is “true” and the insulin administration confirmation flag field of the record is “true”, the control section will not control the search section to obtain the prescription information, and the prescription information from the prescription information table of the patient is not displayed on the display unit, thereby preventing an accidental duplicate administration of insulin; and wherein, upon receipt of an indication to perform blood glucose measurement, the control section is configured to set the blood glucose measurement flag field to a logical false and the insulin administration confirmation flag field to a logical false.
