Abstract: The present disclosure describes a handheld diabetes management device that implements a failsafe firmware upgrading protocol to reduce required user interaction and risk of device downtime. The general processing module executes first software from nonvolatile memory. The general processing module receives second software from an external port and writes the second software to the nonvolatile memory. Based on an upgrade signal, the general processing module switches execution from the first software to the second software, evaluates proper operation of the general processing module, and switches execution back to the first software from the second software when proper operation of the general processing module using the second software is not detected. A communications module, in electrical communication with the general processing module, stores third software and executes the third software. The general processing module receives fourth software from the external port and replaces the third software with the fourth software.

Abstract: A handheld diabetes management device includes a blood glucose measurement engine that measures a blood glucose level of a patient. The device includes a physical port that is exposed at an exterior of the device. The device includes a processing module that includes first, second, and third physical interfaces that are internal to the device. The device includes a multiplexing module that alternatively connects the physical port to one of the first, second, and third physical interfaces of the processing module. The processing module selectively operates the first physical interface using first and second modes. When an external host is connected to the physical port, the processing module selectively transfers information based on the blood glucose level to the external host using the first mode. When the external host is connected to the physical port, the processing module selectively provides file access to the external host using the second mode.
