A blood glucose level information processing apparatus, method and program provide blood glucose values and blood glucose value information within a period or range desired by a user without imposing cumbersome operation on the user. The apparatus, method and program provide blood glucose values and blood glucose value information within a period or desired range by acquiring blood glucose levels measured by a blood glucose level measuring device and date/time of measurement at which the blood glucose levels are measured, displaying a line graph obtained by plotting the blood glucose values within a predetermined period. A slide bar can also be provided, for example on a graph display screen image, whereupon if the slide bar is moved, only the blood glucose values corresponding to a preceding period backdating in response to the amount of movement of the slide bar are plotted on a line graph along a time series.

A specimen collection tip for collecting a specimen includes a base portion, a slender tube extending from one face of the base portion, a plurality of elastically deformable mounting claws extending from the opposite face of the base portion, and a test paper is set in place on the opposite face of the base portion. The base portion is generally in the shape of a flat disc and has a pedestal part for supporting and fixing the test paper. The opposite face of the base portion also includes a flange part formed at the outer peripheral side of the base portion. The lower face of the flange part is formed in a generally flat plane. When the tip is inserted into a tip receiving part of an analyte measuring device, the lower face of the flange part contacts the leading end of the tip receiving part to fix the position of the tip with respect to the tip receiving part.

Collection device for collecting liquid sample

A liquid specimen collection device includes a main body provided with a passage extending between opposite ends of the main body that defines a capillary tube liquid specimen flow path. One end of the passage opens at a tip end of the body member that is positionable adjacent a liquid specimen for introducing the liquid specimen into the passage while the opposite end of the passage opens at a body surface of the body which surrounds and extends outwardly from the opposite end of the passage. A test paper soaked in reagent is secured to the main body adjacent the opposite end of the passage. A liquid sample introduced into the passage at the tip end of the body member flows by capillary action along the passage to the opposite end of the passage where the specimen is then absorbed by the test paper. The test paper is secured to the body member at a plurality of spaced apart securement locations along a peripheral portion of the test paper with gaps being located between adjacent securement locations through which air is permitted to flow during liquid specimen flow along the liquid specimen flow path. The test paper includes a centrally located protuberance and an annular protuberance extending around the outer circumferential portion of the test paper. The end surface of the tip end of the body member can be provided with a groove extending between the outer peripheral surface of the tip end and the passage in the body member.
