Claim:
A computer-implemented diabetes management system that supports connectivity of applications residing on a medical device, comprising: a medical device that performs a diabetes care function in relation to a patient and stores data pertaining to the function; a diabetes care management device in data communication with the medical device and further includes: a connection management module configured to receive an associate request from the medical device and operable to establish a data connection with the medical device in accordance with IEEE standard 11073; a first application separate from the connection management module and residing on the diabetes care management device, wherein the first application interacts with the connection management module to communicate via the connection with the medical device, wherein the first application acquires a reference to a remotable object from the connection management module and instantiates the remotable object, such that the remotable object exposes methods which allow the first application to communicate with the connection management module; and the diabetes management system further comprises a listing of devices interoperable with the diabetes care management device and accessible to the connection management module, wherein, upon receipt of an associate request, the connection management module queries the listing of devices and establishes the data connection when the associate request is received from a medical device on the listing of devices.
