BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable blood diagnostic apparatus having a blood glucose level analyzing function and a diabetes management system including the blood diagnostic apparatus. 2. Description of the Related Art [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable blood diagnostic device having a blood sugar amount analyzing function and a diabetes management system including the same, and more particularly, to a portable blood diagnostic device for allowing a patient with diabetes to self- Diabetic management system.

Blood collection means collecting blood from a person or animal for the purpose of diagnosing a human or animal disease. Blood collection can collect a small amount of blood from the capillaries or a large amount of blood directly from the veins or arteries.

Specifically, in the case of a small amount of blood, a scalpel, a set of lancets, and various lancets can be used to scar the fingertip, the earlobe, and collect the blood discharged through the wound. In the case of mass blood collection, a tubular needle with a hollow center can be inserted directly into a vein or an artery, and blood can be collected by extracting blood using atmospheric pressure or the like.

In addition, the blood collected through blood collection can be analyzed to measure the blood sugar level, cholesterol or triglyceride in the blood, and thereby, it is possible to confirm the health or disease of a person or an animal.

In this case, a predetermined diagnostic device can be used for analysis of collected blood. For example, a blood glucose meter can be used for the measurement of blood sugar level, and a diagnosis device for hyperlipidemia can be used for measurement of cholesterol or triglyceride.

The blood glucose meter is a measuring device for measuring the concentration of glucose in blood from blood collected, for example, a device for measuring the blood glucose level using the blood of a patient administered on a strip responsive to the blood of the patient to be. Generally, the blood glucose level is measured by a photometric method or an electrochemical measurement method. Here, the light intensity measurement method is a method of measuring blood glucose level by detecting discoloration occurring in the course of glucose reacting with an enzyme, and the electrochemical measurement method is based on a voltage or current signal generated by electrons generated in the course of glucose reacting with an enzyme And measuring the concentration of glucose in the blood.

The currently used blood glucose meter consists of four parts: a blood glucose meter, a lanceter, a softclip, and a storage box. At this time, the blood glucose meter corresponds to the part constituting the whole shape, and the lancet, the softclips, and the storage box serve as additional elements.

Specifically, the blood collection needle collects the blood of the patient, and the blood glucose level indicates the blood glucose index on the screen by measuring the blood glucose in the blood collected through the blood collection needle. At this time, the lancet has been manufactured to minimize the pain, and it is selectively used to minimize the feeling of use.

However, there are a number of products currently available that can only know blood glucose levels. Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that it is not possible to know whether the information of the party to be confirmed by the user is dangerous or the degree of prompt action is required, so that it can not take prompt action even in an emergency.

In addition, there is a disadvantage in that it does not provide information on what kind of emergency measures should be taken, even in a situation where measures are relatively large and prompt action is required.
