The
GlucoseOne Diabetes Management System is designed to allow for
simplistic
input of
information related to Diabetes such as:
- Glucose level
- Carbohydrate intake
- Insulin dosage and time
- Time of glucometer test
- Activity levels
- Blood pressure
The system uses this information to generate
summarized and detailed reports for
physicians to study and identify
trends that would suggest changes to protocol. Additionally, the reports describe the quality of control a
patient is
experiencing with his or her Diabetes.
GlucoseOne data capturing can be accomplished through any of the following:
The GlucoseOne Windows© Application
System Requirements
-
Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Home Edition,
Microsoft Windows 2000 (SP2 Recommended),
Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 (SP6a required),
Microsoft Windows® 98,
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me),
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later
- 64 MB of RAM (128MB recommended)
- 120 MB of available hard disk space
Worksheet with Direct Input is used by patients who choose
not to use the
GlucoseOne Palm©
application or the GlucoseOne Windows© application to record data. (For a closeup of the Worksheet, click the graphic at
right.) The patient or caretaker requests worksheets to be generated from the application for a specific date or date
range. That worksheet is then used as a logbook where details are manually captured and later input into the system.
For patients who choose to use the GlucoseOne Palm© application or the GluoseOne Windows© application to
record data, inputting data for the Worksheet is simple and straightforward. (For a closeup of the Logbook dialog, click
the graphic at right.) Each log entry consists of data related to each glucometer test a patient wants to record,
including:
- Date
- Time
- Meal
- Glucose meter reading
- Carbohydrate intake in grams
- Meter used for testing
- Keytones recorded at time of test
- Notes (Examples: Meal menu, glucometer reading taken before or after meal, etc.)
- Other data supplied by the GlucoseOne Palm© application or GlucoseOne Windows© application
Online Logbook provides the user with the ability to browse
previous entries, customize the Logbook using filters, and get a general or rough trend analysis of logged data. (For a
closeup of the Online Logbook, click the graphic at right.)
Preferences can be set in the system to identify critical information that will appear on the system's
reports. Setting preferences makes the reports and online views of data simple to follow and helps identify areas of
opportunity for adjusting protocols. (For a closeup of the Preferences dialog, click the graphic at right.)
GlucoseOne Reporting uses entries in the system's Logbook to produce a myriad of reports including a
The
Physician Summary is designed to give the physician an overall view of the
patient's status for a specific date range. (For a closeup of the Physician Summary report, click the graphic at right.)
It
provides a list of:
- Extreme readings (5 lowest and 5 highest) as well as the
date and log type (Time of Day) the extremes occurred
- Averages by log type (Time of Day) to help a physician
define a particular time of day that a protocol should be
adjusted
- Hemoglobin A1c history and graph to show the progressive
status of residual blood sugars
- Current and previous protocols.
- Medications/Insulins with open dates, expiration dates,
and prescription re-order numbers
- Glucometer and Pump details
- Most recent blood pressure readings
- Patient Notes for questions and comments to address with
the physician while reviewing the report
The
Daily Summary provides a high level view of the patient's low, average,
weighted average, and high glucose readings for each day of a specific time period. This report helps the physician
identify
which daily log reports to study more closely. The report also includes a graph to visually identify trends in glucose
levels
recorded over the period of time defined by the report. (For a closeup of the Daily Summary report, click the graphic at
right.)
The
Detail Log Report
includes each event or logbook entry the patient has provided. The report displays the data using the color coding set
up in
the system's Preferences dialog. The color coding helps point out the glucose readings that lie within the goal or range
the
patient has selected as well as the high and low extremes. (For a closeup of the Detail Log Report, click the graphic at
right.) This report also includes:
- Glucose averages per log type (Time of Day)
- Glucose averages per day and week in a specified date
range
- Insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios
- Any notes the patient has attached to the entry
NOTE:
Knowing that patients may be limited to printing reports and faxing reports in black and white,
GlucoseOne provides the option to print reports in color, greyscale, or black and white. Each time a report is generated
in the system, any of these print options can be selected through the "Color management" option in the Report Selection
dialog.
The
Logbook Worksheet is designed to be printed for a specific week and then used as
a log book to capture log entries which are later entered into the system. This worksheet can be attached to the
refrigerator
or a cabinet where it can be easily accessed each time glucometer tests, injections, meals, or other events occur
that should be logged. (For a closeup of the Logbook Worksheet, click the graphic at right.)
The
Blood Pressure log is for patients who are required to provide their physicians with a
more detailed history of blood pressure data. Unlike the
Physician Summary
which shows only the past 10 entries, this report shows all entries with comments for a specific time period.
The
Food and Carbohydrate report allows a patient to build a quick reference of
carbohydrate content per portion of the patient's favorite foods. This report can then be shared with family members and
caretakers to aid them in preparing meals and calculating proper adjustments to diet.
