Blood Glucose Meter And Computer-Implemented Method For Improving Glucose Management Through Modeling Of Circadian Profiles

A blood glucose meter and computer-implemented method for improving glucose management through modeling of circadian profiles is provided. For each daily meal period, two sets of pre- and post-meal period data are collected into a circadian profile and stored on a glucose meter, including a level of blood glucose of a diabetic patient and a dosage of diabetes medication. A model of predicted blood glucose for the patient is created from the blood glucose levels in each record as expected blood glucose values and predicted errors and visualized in a log-normal distribution. Target ranges for blood glucose at each meal period are determined and superimposed over the expected blood glucose values. Pharmacodynamics of the medication are obtained. An incremental change in dosing of the medication is propagated over a model day and the expected blood glucose values and their predicted errors are adjusted in response to the incremental dosing change.
