A method of self treating a disease, such as diabetes, includes collecting in one or more databases data representing values of parameters that related to the self treatment. The data is processed to provide a plurality of alternate choices between two or more actions that may be taken and a corresponding value for each action is calculated. A computerized system may be employed to perform the above method and the system may include a computer readable medium for executing the method.

An exercise system for strengthening coordination between a person's hand muscles and muscles of the lower part of a person's body comprising: (a) an elevated substantially horizontal flexible support; and (b) a hanging article; wherein said support is curved upwardly, and is adapted to be positioned above the extended height of the person for whom the system is to be set up. des a channel formed therein and communicating with said groove thereof and having a width greater than that of said groove of said at least one second weight, for receiving said second latch. 6. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 3, wherein said second end of said rod includes a conduit formed therein for slidably receiving said second latch. 7. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 1, wherein said second end of said rod includes a passage formed therein and communicating with said conduit thereof, said second latch includes a fastener secured thereto and slidably engaged in said passage of said rod for moving said second latch relative to said rod. 8. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 7, wherein said second end of said rod includes at least one second aperture formed therein and communicating with said passage of said rod, said second latch further includes a barrel slidably engaged on said fastener and having a catch for engaging into said at least one second aperture of said rod. 9. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 8 further comprising means for biasing said catch of said barrel to engage with said at least one second aperture of said rod. 10. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 1 further comprising means for supporting said at least one weight. 11. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 10, wherein said supporting means includes a base having at least one socket recess formed therein for receiving and supporting said at least one weight. 12. The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 11, wherein said base includes at least one pair of walls provided therein for defining said at least one socket recess therein. ising: a frame; a seat mounted on the frame; a sub-frame pivotally mounted to the frame to pivot about a first horizontal axis and a second horizontal axis parallel to and displaced from the first horizontal axis, the sub-frame including a pair of spaced, parallel, angularly oriented pivot axes, lying substantially perpendicular to the first and second horizontal axis; a pair of handles, each having a first end pivotally connected to the sub-frame at one of the angularly oriented pivot axes, and a second end provided with a handgrip; and structure for resisting movement of the handles, wherein movement of the handles and sub-frame against the resisting structure and about the first horizontal axis, between a first location and a second location, will be translated into lateral motion of the handgrips about the angularly oriented pivot axes such that each of the handgrips will move in curved planes from a first location spaced laterally from a vertical plane bisecting the exercise machine to a second location substantially inwardly from the first location. 3. In an exercise machine having a frame, a seat mounted on the frame and a pair of handles pivotally mounted relative to the frame, the improvement comprising: a sub-frame pivotally mounted on the frame to pivot about a major horizontal axis and a minor horizontal axis located substantially parallel to the major axis, the sub-frame defining a pair of spaced, parallel, angularly oriented pivot axes, lying perpendicular to the major and minor horizontal axes; and a pair of transfer linkages, each linkage being rigidly connected at one end to one of the handles and pivotally connected at the other end to the frame about the minor horizontal axis, wherein movement of the sub-frame and handles about the major and minor horizontal axes, will be translated into lateral motion of the handles about the angularly oriented pivot axes such that each handle moves in a curved path from a first location to a second location. 4. An exercise machine comprising: a stationary frame; a seat mounted to the frame; a pair of handles pivotally connected relative to the frame, each of the handles having a first end and a second end provided with a handgrip; and a sub-frame pivotally mounted on the frame to pivot about a first horizontal axis and defining a pair of spaced, parallel, angularly oriented pivot axes, lying perpendicular to the first horizontal axis about which pivot axes the second ends of the handles are swung inwardly and outwardly relative to the seat, the sub-frame including a pair of laterally extending rigid arms, each having a proximal end connected to a first end of one of the handles and a distal end, the sub-frame further including a pair of transfer links, each having a first end joined in a swivel connection to one of the distal ends of the rigid arms and a second end pivotally attached to the frame about a second horizontal axis substantially parallel to the first horizontal axis, wherein movement of the sub-frame and handles about the first and second horizontal axes, will be translated into lateral motion of the handles about the pivot axes such that each of the handgrips will move in curved planes from a first location to a second location. 5. A machine providing adjustable resistance for arm and shoulder exercise movements comprising: a frame; a seat mounted on the frame; a sub-frame pivotally mounted on the frame to pivot about a first horizontal axis against the adjustable resistance, the sub-frame including a pair of spaced apart and parallel second pivot axes, lying substantially perpendicular to the first horizontal axis; a handle mounted at its proximal end to the sub-frame at each second axis for pivotal movement thereabout and extending from each second axis so that a handgrip at the handle distal end is positioned on each side of the seat; and means for compelling the handles to pronate or supinate by pivoting about their respective
