Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented diabetes management system for configuring a structured collection procedure implemented on a collection device, comprising: a meter housed by the collection device that measures the concentration of glucose in blood; a collection application implemented as computer executable instructions in a data store of the collection device, the collection application executes a structured collection procedure for obtaining measurement data from the meter and provides access to the measurement data in accordance with a communication protocol, wherein the structured collection procedure specifies a schedule of collection events for obtaining measures of glucose using the meter and defines parameters including an operational status for the structured collection procedure, reminders for the specified collection events, a start date for the structure collection procedure, a pre-meal target range for measurement data from the meter, a post-meal target range for measurement data from the meter and a bedtime target ranges for measurement data from the meter; a configuration application that accesses and manipulates the parameters of the structured collection procedure using a set of action commands which are defined as a private extension of IEEE standard 11073-20601, wherein the set of action commands includes a first command to read the operational status, a second command to set the operational status, a third command to read the reminders for the specified collection events, a fourth command to set a reminder for a given collection event associated with the structured collection procedure, a fifth command to read the start date, the pre-meal target range, the post-meal target range and the bedtime target range, and a sixth command to set one of the start date, the pre-meal target range, the post-meal target range and the bedtime target range; and a collection interface implemented as computer executable instructions in a data store of the collection device that receives an action command from the configuration application, executes the received action command and issues a response command in response thereto, wherein the response command is defined in compliance with the communication protocol.
