Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing therapeutic guidelines to a person having diabetes. The method comprises measuring a blood glucose (bG) level of the person for two or more days, wherein at least one bG measurement is taken per day, and the at least one daily bG measurement corresponds to one or more daily events for the person; recording the measured bG levels in a computing device; determining, by the computing device, whether the recorded bG levels are below, within, or above one or more predetermined bG ranges; an automatically providing, by the computing device, therapeutic guidelines to the person, based on whether the recorded bG levels are below, within, or above the one or more predetermined bG ranges.

Abstract: A system and technique are enclosed for determining the effectiveness of a blood glucose therapy treatment. Examples of this technique include analyzing sufficiency of blood glucose data collected from a patient with a computing device, analyzing hypoglycemic risk based on the blood glucose data with the computing device, analyzing glycemic control for the blood glucose data with the computing device, analyzing glycemic variability of the blood glucose data with the computing device, and outputting results from said analyzing the sufficiency, said analyzing the hypoglycemic risk, said analyzing the glycemic control, and said analyzing the glycemic variability with the computing device.

Abstract: A water managing system includes a pool, and a gas generating system which includes first and second electrode assemblies. A reactant gas is formed in response to establishing a potential difference between the first and second electrode assemblies with automatically adjusting electrodes. A pool pump is in fluid communication with the pool, and a pool filter in fluid communication with the pool and pool pump. The reactant gas flows through a strainer drain of the pool pump and to the pool filter.
