Abstract: A user device (e.g., a mobile device) receives testing period data during a testing period. The user device determines that a portion of the data is missing based on an analysis of the received testing period data. The analysis of the received data includes an analysis of one or more blood glucose levels and an analysis of the dietary intake data, the medication data, and the activity data. The user device imputes the missing portion of the data with substitute data determined using predictive learning. The user device calculates a confidence level associated with the substitute data. The user device identifies, using the substitute data, a progression or a regression in a diabetic condition associated with the user.

An electronic notification may be sent to a person associated with each of the identified patient accounts, advising the person that the corresponding patient account has been deactivated. An audit record may be created in a data store, the audit record indicating the deactivation of the first account.

Abstract: A method of facilitating communication between a resource and a computer is described. The computer employs a software application that allows the computer to communicate with the resource. The resource may comprise a medical device such as a blood glucose meter or an insulin pump. In order to facilitate communication between the computer and the resource, the software constructs a communication protocol particular to the type of resource connected to the computer. The stack comprising the communication protocol allows the computer to communicate with the resource. Once the resource and computer cease communication, the stack may be removed from the memory of the computer.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving, at a computing device, diabetes management data from a diabetes management device, wherein the diabetes management data does not include a blood glucose (bG) measurement; using the computing device, transmitting an indicator of an account and the diabetes management data to a diabetes management server. The method further includes, using the diabetes management server: creating a bG measurement entry for the account in a database, leaving empty a field of the bG measurement entry for a bG measurement in the bG measurement entry based on the diabetes management data not including a bG measurement; and storing the diabetes management data in one or more respective fields of the bG measurement entry. The method further includes, using the diabetes management server, generating a user interface for displaying data stored in the bG measurement entry and at least one other bG measurement entry associated with the account.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for sharing information and managing diabetes diagnosis and treatment. The method comprises providing a web portal account accessible by both a patient and health care provider. The account may be associated with a portable medical device. The method includes receiving, at one or more servers, medical and usage data from the portable medical device.
