                Diabetics Assistant Version 2.0
    For The One Touch® II Blood Glucose Monitoring System


*Overview

Diabetics Assistant, as its name suggests, is a Windows application 
that helps a person with diabetes manage blood glucose data obtained 
from routine sampling with a blood glucose meter.  While the program 
may be useful to anyone following such a regimen, Diabetics Assistant 
is particularly well suited to those that use the One Touch® II Blood 
Glucose Monitoring System produced by LifeScan Inc.  The One Touch® II 
meter contains special data management features that can be accessed 
via the built-in RS-232 communications port.  When the meter is 
properly connected to a serial port on the user's personal computer, 
Diabetics Assistant can retrieve test results from the meter's memory.  
The data can then be stored in a database, viewed graphically, and 
printed in a logbook format.  The database can be queried in numerous 
ways, allowing for detailed analysis of trends or events.  With an 
appropriate Windows fax printer driver installed, Diabetics Assistant 
can fax reports directly to your doctor.
