The FutureWare Personal Diabetes Combo program for PC and Palm maintains a color-coded graphical history of daily blood glucose, ketone level, exercise and insulin readings, that can be printed in bargraph, linegraph or tabular form, which can be faxed to a physician or other health provider office. The readings can also be emailed to a physician or other health provider for remote monitoring.
If medication is being taken, then the program can keep track of usage, prompting when a refill is needed, and open the default internet browser for on-line internet prescription re-ordering if the issuing pharmacy has such capability. This is described more fully in the Prescription Usage Monitoring and the On-Line Prescription Re-Ordering sections.
The program's bargraph display details blood pressure and blood glucose readings, for a selected review period from daily to four months, and include the maximum, minimum and average values for each over the selected period.
Ketone levels, either taken from a strip or read from a meter, are displayed as line items in the flyover hints, tabular reports and comment review form. Exercise types and durations, and when insulin is taken, are also displayed as line items in the flyover hints, tabular reports and comment review form. |
