Abstract: A patient information collecting system may include a patient interface device, a patient notification device, an input device for entering patient information, and an information collecting unit having a processor programmed to activate the patient notification device at a specified time prior to occurrence of each of a plurality of scheduled events followed, for each such activation, by presenting instructions via the patient interface device to input to the information collecting unit, via the input device, information specified by the presented instructions and resulting from execution of a corresponding one of the plurality of scheduled events, the plurality of scheduled events including at least two of a scheduled patient glucose measuring event, a scheduled delivery of a diabetes therapy related drug to the patient, a scheduled meal or snack to be consumed by the patient and a scheduled physical activity to be undertaken by the patient.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback involve monitoring of a glucose level in a qualified subject. The method comprises the step of consecutively performing a plurality of measurements of a glucose level in the qualified subject by a measuring device. In the measuring device first data corresponding to the measured glucose level is generated. This data is further transmitted to an analysis device. There, second data is generated representing at least one measure for variability of a glucose level of the subject from a time-series of glucose measurements represented by the first data. The second data is compared with reference data and a result of the comparison is further processed for generating a conclusion about nutritional quality of foodstuffs consumed by the subject and/or about a risk of long-term health complications of the subject. Finally, feedback is provided corresponding to the conclusion on an output device.

Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring individual metabolic responses and generating nutritional feedback based on the monitored responses in a qualified subject are disclosed. Measurements of glucose level in the subject are consecutively performed by a measuring device to generate corresponding first data. Subsequently, data is transmitted to an analysis device, where second data representing glycemic responses is generated from a time-series of glucose level measurements represented by the first data. In a next step, the second data is compared with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the subject which represents a total amount of individual glycemic responses allowable for a certain time period. Finally, feedback corresponding to the result of the comparison is provided by an output device.
