DIABETES CARE KIT THAT IS PRECONFIGURED TO ESTABLISH A SECURE BIDIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION LINK BETWEEN A BLOOD GLUCOSE METER AND INSULIN PUMP

摘要

A diabetes care kit for providing diagnostics and therapy that is preconfigured to reduce initial setup by a user, comprising: a handheld diabetes managing device (104) including: a blood glucose meter (1041) configured to determine a blood glucose level of a user, a first processor (1043) coupled to the blood glucose meter (1041) and configured to generate an insulin pump command based on the blood glucose level, a first memory (1045) coupled to the processor (1043) and preloaded with an encryption key, a first communication module (1047) coupled to the processor and first memory (1045) and configured to generate an encrypted communication message based on the insulin pump command and the encryption key, and a first antenna (1049) coupled to the first communication module (1047) and configured to transmit the encrypted communication message; and an insulin pump (202; 204) including: an insulin dosing module (2041) configured to dispense insulin based on an insulin dose command, a second processor (2043) coupled to the insulin dosing module (2041) and configured to generate the insulin dose command based on the insulin pump command, a second memory (2045) coupled to the second processor (2043) and preloaded with the encryption key, a second communication module (2047) coupled to the second processor (2043) and the second memory (2045) and configured to decode the encrypted communication message based on the encryption key to obtain the insulin pump command, and a second antenna (2049) coupled to the second communication module (2047) and configured to receive the encrypted communication message, wherein the handheld diabetes managing device (104) and the insulin pump (202; 204) are paired such that a secure bidirectional communication link exists between the handheld diabetes managing device (104) and the insulin pump (202; 204).
