A computer-implemented method is provided for displaying glucose measurements of a person on a handheld glucose meter. The method includes: determining a current blood glucose measurement for a person from a test strip inserted into a port of the handheld glucose meter; displaying the current glucose measurement on a result screen of the handheld glucose meter immediately following the measurement of the current glucose measurement by the handheld glucose meter; providing an indicium of a logbook screen on the result screen concurrently with the display of the current glucose measurement on the result screen; and displaying the logbook screen in response to a user input received by the handheld glucose meter, where the logbook screen displays the current glucose measurement along with at least two preceding glucose measurements of the person.

Displaying glucose measurements on a handheld glucose meter

Persons with diabetes often carry a handheld glucose meter as well as a portable computing device, such as a mobile phone. Given the close proximity of these two devices, the portable computing device can serve as a data collector for the glucose measures taken by the glucose meter. Improved techniques are set forth for transferring glucose measures automatically and seamlessly to the patient's portable computing device, including displaying a value for the glucose measure along with an identifier for the portable computing device on a display of the glucose meter during the data exchange with the portable computing device.
