Graphical user interface pertaining to a bolus calculator residing on a handheld diabetes management device

摘要

A handheld diabetes manager is presented with an improved graphical user interface for a bolus calculator. The bolus calculator is configured to receive blood glucose measurements from a blood glucose measurement module and operates, in response to an input, to compute an insulin recommendation for a patient based in part on the blood glucose measurements. The graphical user interface for the bolus calculator includes a health adjustment screen that enables a user to input a value for health events associated with the insulin recommendation, where the input value represents a cumulative effect of the health events on insulin of the patient and the health adjustment screen presents a different icon for each of the health events associated with the insulin recommendation.

主权项

1. A handheld diabetes manager having a graphical user interface for a bolus calculator, comprising:
a port configured to receive a test strip having a reaction site for receiving a sample of blood from a patient; a blood glucose measurement module cooperatively operable with a test strip inserted in the port to measure glucose in a sample of blood residing on the test strip; a bolus calculator module configured to receive a request for an insulin recommendation, where the request include a blood glucose measure from the blood glucose measurement module and the bolus calculator module is implemented by a computer processor of the handheld diabetes management device; a user interface module prompts, in response to the request for an insulin recommendation, a user with a health event selection screen to input one or more health events to be associated with the request for an insulin recommendation and receives, in response to prompting the user, indicia for two or more health events to be associated with the request for an insulin recommendation; the user interface module prompts, in response to receiving two or more health events, a user with a health adjustment screen for an input for the two or more health events and receives, in response to the prompting the user for an input, an input value from the user, where the input represents a cumulative effect of the two or more health events on the insulin recommendation and the input is received on the health adjustment screen; and wherein the bolus calculator computes, in response to the request for an insulin recommendation, an insulin recommendation based in part on the input value received from the user.
