Abstract

A glucose monitoring instrument having network-based communication features which provide a link between patient and practitioner. The glucose monitoring instrument comprises circuitry for communicating data with one or more destination sites on the network which are configured to transmit and receive information to and from the instrument. Instrument measurements are transmitted over the link in addition to information and guidance, to provide increased accuracy, improved program compliance, and patient guidance from a supervisory authority or medical practitioner. In addition, a set of calibration features encourage calibration compliance.
