Abstract

Glucose meters and Diabetes management are important subjects of attention for people diagnosed with type I diabetes. The process of monitoring one's own blood glucose with a glucose meter is ofter referred as self-monitoring of blood glucose or "SMBG". There exist a significant amount of tools available today that provide several alternatives to this process.

The Diabetes Forecast System (DFS) is a tool designed to provide real-time predictions of blood sugar levels (BGL). Forecasts are based on readings from a current diet, latest insulin doses, current workout schedules as well as current sugar levels. These inputs are utilized to produced a forecast of BGL for a specific period of time in the future. According to our task analysis and requirements, we propose additional features that unlike other devices available in the market, improve the user experience as well as the frequency of user input.
