Abstract
A blood glucose meter with a low cost user interface has a color glucose scale that is indexed by indicators programmed according to the user's blood glucose target range through a separating computing device due to the limited meter user interface. The color glucose scale is static and placed adjacent to the indicator such as by being molded into the housing, printed on the housing, or attached to the display. The low cost user interface has a monochrome segmented display with certain segments serving as a plurality of indicators. An indicator scaling module uses the target blood glucose range of the person with diabetes to calculate the blood glucose ranges for each indictor to index the color glucose measurement scale. The indicator scaling module can also assign attributes to the indicator such as flashing. The graphic representation of the user's blood glucose measurement aids in user interpretation.
