Patent ID: 8374925

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a housing; a port coupled to the housing configured to receive a test strip; a communication module coupled to the housing; one or more processors coupled to the housing; and a memory for storing instructions coupled to the one or more processors which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to: generate a signal associated with a detected analyte sample on the test strip received at the port; determine a frequency of the signal generation associated with the detected analyte sample; compare the determined frequency to a predetermined threshold level; generate a consumable replenishment level information based on the comparison; determine an analyte concentration associated with the detected analyte sample; retrieve prior administered medication level information including prior stored long acting insulin dose amounts and/or prior stored rapid acting insulin dose amounts, and associated analyte concentration associated with the retrieved prior administered medication level information; and calculate a current dose level based at least in part on the determined analyte concentration and the retrieved prior administered medication level information such that the calculated current dose level corrects for prior administered medication wherein the determined current dose level includes a predetermined type of medication classification that includes long acting insulin and/or rapid acting insulin; and an output unit coupled to the one or more processors and provided in the housing and configured to output one or more data associated with the generated signal and the consumable replenishment level information.
