Abstract
Measurements of insulin quantities in a syringe are performed inductively in an integrated insulin dose recorder/blood glucose meter. The syringe is placed in a holder before the administration of the dose, and the liquid quantity in the syringe is recorded. Inductors may be situated within the syringe and/or outside the syringe in various geometries. Standard or customized syringes may be used. Liquid quantities in the syringe are determined by comparing inductive response patterns of the syringe with calibration data stored in the device. Insulin dose and blood glucose histories are downloaded to a patient computer for transfer to a clinician's computer.
