1 Remote & Mobile Blood Glucose Monitoring and Diabetes Patient Follow-Up System 1 Components Remote & Mobile Blood Glucose Monitoring and Diabetes Patient Follow-Up System collects daily blood glucose (BG) value by BG meter, and transmits the data to the health mobile phone via Bluetooth. Then, the mobile phone sends the data to the server through GPRS. A doctor remotely views the BG variation of a patient, and carries out timely treatment after analysis and diagnosis. The doctor can also interact with the patient through the server. The patient can view doctor advice on the mobile phone as well. The system consists of BG meter and software (software on health mobile phone and server).

22 3 Measuring BG Value Before measuring, prepare a clean, dry table and all necessary items (including BG meter, lancing device, sterile lancet, test strips, alcohol and cotton swabs). 3.1 Preparing for Obtaining a Blood Sample 1.Pull off the cap of the lancing device. Insert the lancet into the lancet holder of the lancing device. Push down the lancet until it is secured in the lancet holder. 2.Twist the protective disk off the lancet, and then replace the cap of the lancing device. Note: You can adjust the depth of penetration as needed. 3.Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.
23 Remote & Mobile Blood Glucose Monitoring and Diabetes Patient Follow-Up System 4.Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Clean your hands and sterilize the puncture site with cotton swab and alcohol. Note: Rub your hand from the wrist to fingertip two or three times to stimulate blood perfusion. 3.2 Preparing the BG Meter 1.Insert the test strip facing up into the test slot. The BG meter automatically starts. Note: Make sure no test strip is inserted in the BG meter before operation. 2.The BG meter automatically displays code number. You can start measuring when the displayed code number is the same as that on the test strip vial.
24 3.3 Starting Testing 1.Press the lacing device's tip firmly against the lower side of your fingertip. Choose a different spot each time you test to prevent soreness and calluses. 2.Press the release button of the lancing device. If needed, you can rub your finger softly from the pad of finger to fingertip to stimulate blood perfusion. 3.Make sure a new test strip is inserted into the BG meter. Use the absorbent hole of test strip to touch the blood sample. Blood will be drawn in. You can check whether the sample is sufficient through the confirmation window. If the blood is deficient, the blood drop symbol flashes. 4.When the BG meter is reading the result, the clock symbol flashes on the display.
25 Remote & Mobile Blood Glucose Monitoring and Diabetes Patient Follow-Up System The result is displayed in approximately 5 seconds. 5.The test result is stored in the memory. 6.Push up the test strip ejector.
