Abstract

A blood sugar level control system for measuring a blood sugar level and administering insulin into a body. The blood sugar level control system includes a blood sugar measuring device having a first wireless data transmitting part to transmit data relating to the blood sugar level; an insulin dispensing device having a wireless data communication unit including a second wireless data transmitting part to transmit data to a second blood sugar measuring device, and a wireless data receiving part to receive data from the first wireless data transmitting part and the second blood sugar measuring device; and an attachment mechanism to couple the insulin dispensing device and the blood sugar measuring device so that the blood sugar measuring device is movable, without separating from the insulin dispensing device at least three specific positions.

Claims (26)

1. A blood sugar level control system comprising:

a blood sugar measuring device to measure a blood sugar level, the blood sugar measuring device including a first wireless data transmitting part to transmit data relating to the blood sugar level;

an insulin dispensing device to administer insulin into a body, the insulin dispensing device including a wireless data communication unit including a second wireless data transmitting part to transmit data to a second blood sugar measuring device that measures blood sugar levels continuously, and a wireless data receiving part to receive data from the first wireless data transmitting part and the second blood sugar measuring device; and

an attachment mechanism to couple the insulin dispensing device and the blood sugar measuring device so that the blood sugar measuring device is movable, without separating from the insulin dispensing device, among at least a first position in which the wireless data receiving part of the insulin dispensing device is covered with the blood sugar measuring device in a way that the first wireless data transmitting part of the blood sugar measuring device faces the wireless data receiving part of the insulin dispensing device, and a second position in which the second wireless data transmitting part and the wireless data receiving part of the insulin dispensing device are not covered with the blood sugar measuring device.

2. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 1 ,

wherein said second blood sugar measuring device is used while being implanted in the inside of said body.

3. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 1 ,

wherein said blood sugar measuring device and said insulin dispensing device are each provided with a housing including a waterproof property or a water resistant property.

4. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 3 ,

wherein said blood sugar measuring device is provided with an insertion opening through which a specimen is inserted, and a closing unit that closes said insertion opening.

5. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

an external information processing device constructed so as to be able to perform data communication with said insulin dispensing device.

6. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 5 ,

wherein said second wireless data communication transmitting part is able to perform data communication with said external information processing device; and

said insulin dispensing device is further provided with a selection unit that selects said blood sugar measuring device or said external information processing device as a communication target of said wireless data communication unit.

7. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 6 ,

wherein said selection unit is constructed so as to be able to select said second blood sugar measuring device as said communication target.

8. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 6 ,

wherein said selection unit includes a switch interlocked with movement of said blood sugar measuring device.

9. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said selection unit selects said communication target according to the relative position of said blood sugar measuring device with respect to said insulin dispensing device.

10. The blood sugar level control system as set forth in claim 9 ,

said selection unit includes a plurality of switches, and selects said communication target according to combinations of an on state or an off state of each of said plurality of switches.

11. A blood sugar level control system comprising:

a blood sugar measuring device to measure a blood sugar level, the blood sugar measuring device including a first wireless data transmitting part to transmit data relating to the blood sugar level;

an insulin dispensing device to administer insulin into a body, the insulin dispensing device including a wireless data communication unit including a second wireless data transmitting part to transmit data to a second blood sugar measuring device that is used while being implanted in the inside of said body, and a wireless data receiving part to receive data from the first wireless data transmitting part and the second blood sugar measuring device; and

an attachment mechanism to couple the insulin dispensing device and the blood sugar measuring device so that the blood sugar measuring device is movable, without separating from the insulin dispensing device, among at least a first position in which the wireless data receiving part of the insulin dispensing device is covered with the blood sugar measuring device in a way that the first wireless data transmitting part of the blood sugar measuring device faces the wireless data receiving part of the insulin dispensing device, and a second position in which the second wireless data transmitting part and the wireless data receiving part of the insulin dispensing device are not covered with the blood sugar measuring device.
