Patent ID: 8765059

Claim:
A diabetes management system, comprising: a device having a housing, an input interface, and a processing circuit coupled to the input interface; and a measurement module electrically coupled to the device, wherein the measurement module includes a measurement module housing, a processor, a non-transitory computer readable medium programmed with instructions that cause the processor to: (a) communicate processor-executable setup software instructions to the processing circuit of the device; and (b) after the processor-executable setup software instructions have been communicated from the measurement module to the device and executed by the processing circuit of the device, transmit to the processing circuit of the device information related to diabetes management from the measurement module, a test strip receptacle formed at a first side of the measurement module housing, electronics for determining the amount of glucose present in a sample of blood placed on a test strip that is received in the test strip receptacle, and a connector portion at a second side of the measurement module housing for electrically coupling to the input interface of the device and for transmitting the processor-executable setup instructions and data corresponding to the amount of glucose present in the sample of blood to the device.
