Blood Glucose Meter Supporting Contextual Data Filtering

摘要

The handheld blood glucose meter creates blood glucose records having contextual information to improve filtering of blood glucose records for improved healthcare decisions. The contextual information includes events and associated sub-events. The user selects an event indicator from the plurality of event indicators, and the meter associates the blood glucose measurement with an event that corresponds to the event indicator. The user selects a sub-event indicator from the plurality of sub-event indicators, and the meter associates the blood glucose measurement with a sub-event that corresponds to the sub-event indicator. The user repeats the preceding steps to obtain a plurality of blood glucose measurements with associated events and sub-events. The user selects data filtering, a predetermined range of blood glucose measurements along with an event and sub-event to produce a filter result meeting these criteria.
