Patent ID: 8775095

Claim:
A method for decentralized monitoring of a progression of a diabetic state of a patient with use of an electronic device, the method comprising: obtaining a pre-test venous blood sample and a pre-test capillary blood sample from the patient after the patient fasts obtaining an initial set of venous blood samples and an initial set of capillary blood samples from the patient in a centralized setting after a standardized metabolic challenge, wherein the diabetic state is diagnosed using the initial set of venous blood samples and wherein a first test baseline is established by correlating the initial set of capillary blood samples with the initial set of venous blood samples; implementing a therapy for the patient to address the diabetic state diagnosed by the initial set of venous blood samples; performing decentralized testing after reaching a target event, wherein a status test is obtained from a status pre-test capillary blood sample obtained from the patient after the patient fasts and from a status set of capillary blood samples obtained from the patient after a subsequent standardized metabolic challenge; and comparing the status test with the first test baseline to determine an effectiveness of the therapy.
