Abstract: A method enables an application executing on a mobile computing device to access, via an application programming interface, data associated with a measurement taken by a blood glucose meter peripheral to the mobile computing device. The method includes transmitting, by a blood glucose meter peripherally connected to a mobile computing device, to a software module provided by a first organization and executing on the mobile computing device, a blood glucose reading of a user of the blood glucose meter. The method includes generating, by the software module, an identification of an event responsive to the transmitted blood glucose reading. The method includes providing, by the software module, an application programming interface allowing an application provided by a second organization and executing on the mobile computing device, to access data associated with at least one of the blood glucose reading and the identification of the event.
