Abstract: A method for diabetes care, the method (which also may be referred to as, involve or incorporate at least one of a tool, device or program) allowing for the characterization of the relevance of errors of parameters affecting glucose concentration on a postprandial glucose concentration outcome for a person with diabetes mellitusm, wherein the method involves at least one of sensing, determining, calculating, predicting, describing and communicating the effects of potential errors of parameters affecting glucose concentration on postprandial glucose concentration values within a clinically relevant glucose range.

Abstract: A blood glucose (bG) measurement engine selectively measures bG levels in blood samples input to a handheld diabetes management device. A computer readable medium includes code executed by a processor to: identify a period of N days, the period including the current date and N?1 days immediately prior to the current date, wherein N is an integer greater than 6; determine a total number of the N days during which the patient input at least two blood samples; and, when the total number of the N days is greater than M, M being an integer greater than zero and less than or equal to N: calculate a value based on the bG levels of blood samples input during the period; based on the value, classify the patient as having a first, second, or third risk of being hypoglycemic in the future.
