Patent ID: 7949507

Claim:
A diabetes care management system for managing blood glucose levels associated with diabetes, comprising: a memory configured to store a plurality of optimal blood glucose values at a plurality of times, (ii) a plurality of self care values of a patient at said times, (iii) a plurality of measured blood glucose values at said times, and (iv) a plurality of optimal self care values at said times; a microprocessor, in communication with said memory, and programmed to (A) generate a plurality of scaling factors customized to said patient in response to changes in any one of said self care values or said measured blood glucose values occurring at any one of said times and (B) calculate a future blood glucose value based on (i) a plurality of differentials, one of said differentials calculated as one of said scaling factors multiplied by differences between one of said self care values and one of said optimal self care values, (ii) a sum of said differentials plus (iii) a difference between one of said measured blood glucose values and a corresponding one of said optimal blood glucose values; and a housing, wherein said memory and said microprocessor are housed within said housing, thereby providing a hand-held, transportable computing device.
