Abstract: A method for storing data at a continuous glucose monitor is presented. The method includes measuring the blood glucose level of the patient. The method also includes receiving a plurality of physical attributes related to the glucose level of the patient. The method further includes determining calibration data based on the measured blood glucose level and at least one of the plurality of physical attribute samples, the calibration data configured to allow the handheld diabetes managing device to determine the estimated glucose level of the patient based on the plurality of physical attribute samples. Finally, the method includes transmitting the calibration data from the handheld diabetes managing device to the continuous glucose monitor for storage at the continuous glucose monitor. The calibration data and plurality of physical attribute samples can be retrieved by a separate device to determine an estimated glucose level of the patient.

Abstract: A medical handheld device having a bi-stable display, which can be supplemented by a further display, is presented. The display of the medical handheld device can have a display surface. The display surface can have a keypad in the form of a matrix of sensors. The matrix of sensors can be coupled to image segments on the display surface and can detect touches on the display surface. By coupling the matrix of sensors to the image segments of the display surface, a change of the representation of touched areas of the display surface can occur.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a communication adapter for use with an ambulant medical device. The device carries out a data transmission to the communication adapter that carries out a data transmission to a computer by means of a data connection. The communication adapter processes the data to be read-out from the devices in such a fashion that it can be displayed on a computer without the use of specific software.
