Patent number: 10568511Abstract: A handheld diabetes management device for managing blood glucose test data and continuous glucose monitoring data includes a port configured to receive a test strip, a wireless transceiver, a communications processor, and a user interface processor. The communications processor communicates with the wireless transceiver to periodically collect glucose measurement data from a continuous glucose monitoring device and to store the glucose measurement data in a first data storage module. The communications processor is operable to consume electrical power at a first rate. The user interface processor communicates with the communication processor to receive the glucose measurement data and operable to display the glucose measurement data on the device. The communications processor operates asynchronously from operation of the user interface processor to collect the glucose measurement data and the user interface processor operates to consume electrical power at a second rate that is higher than the first rate.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Timothy P. Engelhardt, Gerhard Frisch, Robert E. Reinke, Wilfried Schmidt, Michael Schoemaker, Uwe Wittmann

Patent number: 8968676Abstract: A hand-held device for measuring an analyte concentration in a sample of a body liquid includes a display means for displaying measured values; a measured-value storage for storing measured values; a measuring unit for generating measured values through measurements of the analyte concentration; a clock; a control unit for generating measured value datasets, each containing a measured value supplied by the measuring unit as well as the date and hour of the measurement by which the measured value was obtained, and for writing them into the measured-value storage; and operating elements that can be actuated by the user to set the clock, in which case the control unit will generate a time-correction dataset indicating the amount and direction of the setting effected. The control unit writes time-correction datasets into the measured-value storage so that a chronologically ordered sequence is generated containing time-correction datasets and measured value datasets.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Ulrich Porsch, Bernd Steiger, Gertrud Albrecht, Uwe Wittmann
