Abstract:
1. A diabetes management system configured to allow pass thru communication comprising: a diabetes management device; an external computing device that communicates with the diabetes management device over a first bidirectional communications link, wherein the diabetes management device and the external computing device exchange first data packets of a first data packet structure over the first bidirectional communication link; a first medical device that performs a task related to diabetes management and that communicates with the diabetes management device over a second bidirectional communications link; wherein the diabetes management device and the first medical device exchange second data packets of a second data packet structure over the second bidirectional communication link; the diabetes management device including a pass-thru module that: wherein the pass-thru module uses a set of pass-thru commands for establishing a pass-thru communication path and enabling communication between the external computing device and the first medical device, and wherein the set of pass-thru commands includes a transmit pass-thru payload command that instructs the diabetes management to transmit the first data packet from the external computing device to the first medical device and includes a payload of the first data packet, wherein the set of pass-through commands is defined as a private extension of IEEE standard 11073-20601.
