Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for visualizing a chronological sequence of measured values, in particular obtained from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) process. SOLUTION: The visualizing method includes a step of presenting measured data obtained by the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) process, in a polar coordinate graph display system. This operation is carried out using a device comprising a measuring unit, in particular a continuous glucose measuring unit, a communication link for transmitting/receiving the measured data, in particular a wireless transmitting/receiving device with a transmitting part and a receiving part, and a display with a computing unit designed and programmed to visualize the data obtained from the measuring unit.

Abstract:
A system is provided for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined. The system may comprise a patient interface device, a patient notification device, an input device for entering patient information, and an information collecting unit. The information collecting unit may include a processor electrically coupled to a memory having stored therein at least one algorithm executable by the processor to activate the patient notification device followed by presenting instructions to the patient via the patient interface device for collecting specified information from the patient via the input device.

Abstract:
A system and a method for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback involve monitoring of glycemic response in a qualified subject. A plurality of measurements of the glucose level in the qualified subject are consecutively performed by a measuring device (100). In the measuring device (100) first data corresponding to the measured glucose level is generated. Subsequently, the data is transmitted to an analysis device (200), where second data is generated from a time-series of glucose level measurements represented by the first data. In a next step, the second data is compared with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the qualified subject, the individual glycemic response budget representing a total amount of individual glycemic response allowable for a certain time period. Finally, feedback corresponding to the result of the comparison is provided by an output device (200). Continuously monitoring the glucose level of qualified subjects can provide highly personalized information about the effects of diet, physical activity, and nutrition by revealing an individual's glycemic response to ingested food and beverages. The inventive method and system are therefore valuable tools for supporting weight management, nutritional counseling, and preventive medicine.
Abstract:
A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a tim e dependent parameter measured in or on a human body, in particular of a phy siological glucose concentration, comprises the steps of storing a time segm ent of the sequence of measurements as a record in a database and simultaneo usly graphically displaying at least three of the measurements of the stored segment on a user interface display (270). A system for processing a chrono logical sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in o r on a human body, in particular of a physiological glucose concentration, c omprises a computing and display equipment (200) comprising a database for s toring a plurality of chronological sequences of measurements of the time de pendent parameter and the computing and display equipment (200) being design ed and controlled in such a way that at least three of the measurements of a stored sequence may be simultaneously graphically displayed on a user inter face display (270). The method as well as the system enable a patient to imp rove his self-management skills concerning a therapy that affects the behavi our of the parameter.
