A glucose tolerance analyzer comprising: an accepting section configured to accept inputs of information regarding a type of food or drink ingested by a subject, information regarding an intake amount of the food or drink, and information regarding an amount of glucose in the subject after the ingestion of the food or drink; an output section configured to output an analysis result of glucose tolerance; and a controller configured to: calculate a reference value for analyzing glucose tolerance of the subject based on the accepted information regarding the type of the food or drink ingested by the subject and the information regarding the intake amount of the food or drink, and based on a predetermined index regarding blood glucose increase due to food or drink; analyze the glucose tolerance of the subject based on the accepted information regarding the amount of glucose and based on the calculated reference value; and control the output section to output an obtained analysis result as an analysis result of glucose tolerance.

Glucose tolerance analyzer, glucose tolerance analyzing system, and storage medium

To provide a micropore forming apparatus capable of increasing the amount of interstitial fluid extracted from micropores formed in the skin of a subject. The micropore forming apparatus includes a skin contact part that has a plurality of microneedles for piercing the skin of the subject, and a force exerting part for exerting a force on the skin contact part toward the skin of the subject. The force exerting part is configured so as to exert a force on the microneedles toward the skin at a position at which the microneedles of the skin contact part are to pierce the skin of the subject.

Micropore forming apparatus and micropore forming method

A diagnosis support method comprising: obtaining first blood glucose level information at a first time point and/or second blood glucose level information at a second time point which is later, by a predetermined period, than the first time point; placing a collection member, which is configured to collect a tissue fluid, on the skin of the subject for the predetermined period from the first time point to the second time point; obtaining glucose information about an amount of glucose contained in the tissue fluid collected by the collection member; and generating diagnosis support information for supporting a diagnosis of presence or absence of hypoglycemia in the subject, based on the first blood glucose level information and/or the second blood glucose level information and the glucose information. A diagnosis support system and a diagnosis support apparatus are also disclosed.

Diagnosis support method, diagnosis support system, and diagnosis support apparatus
