<p>A system is disclosed for transferring logged results of a hand held meter to remote destinations through various communications modes such as Internet email, modem to modem direct dial-in, facsimile, etc. The meter connects to a modem to allow the data or information logged with the meter to be copied, transferred or otherwise uploaded by and to the modem. In the preferred embodiment, the hand-held meter is a glucose meter. Once the log is uploaded from the meter to the modem, the meter can be removed from its connection with the modem. The modem accumulates the new results received from the meter and, preferably at its next scheduled transmission time, electronically sends, via e-mail, modem, facsimile, etc, the logged results to the appropriate remote destination without any additional user intervention or assistance. The final remote destination is not limited to any one type of destination and preferably includes medical supplies distributors, physician's offices, managed care facilities, or anywhere else the data may be needed or requested.</p> |
