Abstract: A wireless transmitter adapter (206) can provide wireless data transmission capability to a battery-operated biosensor meter (100), such as a blood glucose meter, originally configured for hardwired data downloads. In some embodiments, the wireless transmitter adapter (206) can be configured to replace a bio-sensor meter's battery cover (106). The wireless transmitter adapter (206) can include wireless transmitter circuitry (700), a connector (218) configured to be received in a biosensor meter's communications port (112) to electrically couple to the meter's processor circuitry (107), and one or more electrical contacts (625a, 625b) configured to electrically couple to the biosensor meter's one or more batteries (102a, 102b) to power the wireless transmitter circuitry (700).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for diabetes management include a portable diabetes management system (DMS) device. The DMS device includes a processor, a data storage device, a touchscreen display, and wireless communications facilities. An interactive display screen configured to be displayed on the touchscreen display lists a selectable subset of a plurality of different detected patterns related to blood glucose measurement data received by the DMS device. The patterns are detected based on a plurality of algorithms executable on the processor. A subset of detected patterns is determined based upon a frequency with which the patterns are detected and a priority is assigned to the detected patterns. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Meters, methods, and computer-readable media for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample are presented herein. One concept is directed to a meter for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample. The meter includes a housing configured to receive a test sensor carrying the fluid sample, and a processor configured to determine analyte concentration information from the fluid sample. A memory is coupled to the processor and configured to store the analyte concentration information. A display is coupled to the housing and configured to display the analyte concentration information and one or more iconic markers. Each iconic marker represents a respective state of the user. Each user state has a known affect on the analyte concentration information. An input device is coupled to the processor and configured to receive the user's selection from the iconic markers. The user's selection is stored by the memory.

Abstract: A household consumer product comprises a cabinet having a peripheral wall that partially defines an interior space for the cabinet and includes an opening that provides access to the interior space. A hanging element having a proximal end is mounted to the cabinet for movement through the opening between an extended position, where the proximal end extends beyond the peripheral wall, and a retracted position, where the proximal end does not extend beyond the peripheral wall. The hanging element can include a biasing device that biases the hanging element from the retracted position toward the extended position.
