摘要:
Various embodiments of a "smart" drug delivery pen are provided which include a drug delivery pen having an inertial sensor or accelerometer 276. A system is also provided that includes the smart drug pen in conjunction with a data management unit(s) DMU. The drug delivery pen also includes a momentary micro-switch 267 wherein depressing the injection knob 204 activates the momentary switch for waking up the device from sleep mode. Moreover, the duration of actuation of the micro-switch provides an indication whether the dose has been accurately delivered

Described herein are systems and methods for distinguishing between a control solution and a blood sample. In one aspect, the methods include using a test strip in which multiple current transients are measured by a meter electrically connected to an electrochemical test strip. The current transients are used to determine if a sample is a blood sample or a control solution based on at least two characteristics. Further described herein are methods for calculating a discrimination criteria based upon at least two characteristics. Still further described herein are system for distinguishing between blood samples and control solutions.

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for determining analyte concentration in a rapid and accurate manner. The methods include depositing a physiological sample in an electrochemical cell and finding a first and second current transient. Peak current values are obtained from the first and second peak current values and used to reduce the influence of interferents in a current value. Based on this "corrected" current value, an accurate analyte concentration can be determined.

Described and illustrated is a system for management of diabetes that includes an infusion pump, glucose sensor and controller with a method programmed into the controller. The infusion pump is configured to deliver insulin to a subject. The system provides the user with the ability to understand the effects of bolus insulin dosing upon their glucose levels. Specifically, the system provides a message that must include: (a) the trend of the user's glucose; (b) the recommended bolus; and (c) the actual bolus.

A decision support system for a patient includes a storage device holding data of various insertion sites. Each site represents an area on a human body at which a medical device can be inserted into the body. Also stored are data indicative of sites that have been used by the patient. A processor determines whether various sites are recommended and indicates recommendations on a display. The processor receives a selection of a site and updates the stored data. The system can also determine recommendations for two different medical devices and update stored data indicative of the used sites for one of them with a selected site. A method of recommending an insertion site includes receiving an indication of a site that should not be used, determining whether each of the sites is recommended using the indication, displaying the recommendations and updating the stored data based on a received user selection.
