A system and method can provide for a remote electronic device to be used to remotely initiate delivery of a medicament bolus with a medical device, such as an insulin pump, with the medical device providing audible or tactile confirmation of the programmed bolus. The bolus amount can be calculated by or programmed or otherwise entered into the smartphone, etc., and then transmitted to the medical device. When the pump receives the transmitted bolus amount, it issues one or more indications such as audible sounds and/or vibrations in any number of desired combinations. For instance, each individual sound or vibration may correspond to an increment of the medicament. The user can therefore determine the size of the medicament bolus by the number of sounds or vibrations and can confirm or cancel delivery of the bolus.

A method of data analysis is provided. The method is used for finding a long-term trend of blood glucose concentration. The method builds a model for estimating long-term glycemic variability and long-term blood glucose trajectory.

The number shows the level of the historical glycemic variabilities. A second analysis method is to restore the blood glucose trajectory over the past 20 weeks. Based on the single-erythrocyte-level glycated hemoglobin distribution, the present invention easily assesses blood-glucose-related clinical information for about 150 days. Hence, an important complement is obtained for diabetes-related or glucose-monitoring-related clinical applications.
