Abstract

This invention discloses an analyte testing method and system. Described and illustrated herein is an exemplary method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, processor, memory, and user interface buttons. Such method can be achieved by measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device, displaying a value representative of the analyte, prompting a user to select a flag to associate the flag with the value, and pressing only one of the user interface buttons once to store the flag with the value in the memory of the analyte measurement device. In one embodiment, the testing device is a glucose meter and the analyte being tested is glucose.

Description

Analyte testing method and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of analyte testing method and system.

Background technology

[0001] for the diabetic, glucose monitoring is the thing that every day, life all will be done.This monitoring accuracy has appreciable impact to health, and finally can influence the quality of life of diabetic individual.Usually, one day several of diabetic measurement of glucose levels is so that monitor and glucose level control.Fail to test exactly and regularly blood sugar level and can cause the serious complication relevant, comprise angiocardiopathy, kidney trouble, nervous lesion and blind with diabetes.Many useful electronic installations are arranged at present, and its feasible individual can test the glucose level in a small amount of blood sample.The CneTouch that Lifescan makes

Profile ^TMBlood glucose meter is exactly a kind of such blood glucose meter.

[0002] except that the blood sugar test, diabetic individual must usually keep strict control to their life style, makes them for example not be subjected to the adverse effect of erratic diet or exercise.In addition, the physician who treats specific diabetic individual need be about the details of individual life style, so that effective treatment is provided or changes therapeutic scheme with control of diabetes.Current, be used for individual monitoring and suffered from the paper spare daily record that a kind of mode of diabetes individual lifestyle is their life style of reservation.The mode that another kind is used for the individual is to depend on the actual conditions of recalling their life style simply, follows when seeing the doctor at every turn, and these details are reported physician to them.

[0003] there is intrinsic difficulty in the method for aforesaid record lifestyle information, expend time in, and may be inaccurate.The daily record of paper spare is not the thing that the individual must carry, and may not finish exactly when needs.This paper spare daily record is little, so it is difficult to charge to details, and described details require to describe the life style incident in detail.And the individual may usually forget the ultimate facts about their life style when being inquired by the physician, and the physician has to often manually consult and explain from the information on the hand-written notebook.The daily record of paper spare can not be analyzed so that extract or separate configuration information information.Moreover, do not have the figure of these information is decomposed and gathers yet.Data are copied the information that comprises life style in the secondary data storage described secondary data storage system such as database or other electronic systems arduously to (entry) requirement of charging in secondary (secondary) data-storage system.The difficulty of data recording has been encouraged the retrospective of relevant information and has been charged to, and causes inaccurate and incomplete record like this.

[0004] in addition, diabetes individual usually carries on one's body at them and is used to the multiple arrangement diagnosing and treat, for example glucose level monitoring device and medicine these two.Therefore, must carry the paper spare of life style record is extra undesired burden, and data-in therein is unusual spended time.

[0005] many portable electron devices are arranged now, they can be measured individual's glucose level and store described level so that look back or be uploaded to another computing machine for analysis.A kind of such device is the Accu-Check from Roche Diagnostics ^TMComplete ^TMSystem, its function aspect storage life style data is limited.Yet, Accu-Check ^TMComplete ^TMSystem only allows that the limited life style variable of in instrument selection is to be stored.Do not exist from the intelligence feedback that before was logged into the value in the described instrument, and the user interface right and wrong are intuitively for the user who does not frequently use this instrument.

Summary of the invention

[0006] applicant has realized that the demand to a kind of like this electronic installation, and it is used for log and analyzes the life style data, and does not increase the number of the device that the individual must be kept at them on one's body.This device also must use with being easy to than other devices are more directly perceived, therefore, encourages the individual to go to write down the information relevant with their life style.Should obtain the life style data that mean any quantifiable information, described information may influence or represent individual's health.The example of life style data is food consumption, sports (for example taking exercise), the absorption of medicine and the health examination that the individual is implemented.
