Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for managing manual entries of blood glucose measures for a patient in relation to a structured collection procedure managed by a portable computing device. The method includes: managing a structured collection procedure for a user of the computing device, where the structured collection procedure specifies one or more collection events for obtaining blood glucose measures for a patient; receiving a data entry for a blood glucose measure from the user of the computing device; evaluating the data entry in relation to the structured collection procedure using a membership rule set, where the membership rule set defines rules for associating data entries with structured collection procedures; and inputting the data entry into a logbook residing in a data store on the computing device. Depending upon the evaluation, the data entry may be input with or without an association to the structured collection procedure.
