A method, system, and computer program product related to the diagnosis of diabetes, and is directed to predicting the long-term risk of hyperglycemia, and the long-term and short-term risks of severe hypoglycemia in diabetics, based on blood glucose readings collected by a self-monitoring blood glucose device. The method, system, and computer program product pertain directly to the enhancement of existing home blood glucose monitoring devices, by introducing an intelligent data interpretation component capable of predicting both HbA1c and periods of increased risk of hypoglycemia, and to the enhancement of emerging continuous monitoring devices by the same features. With these predictions the diabetic can take steps to prevent the adverse consequences associated with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

We claim: 1. A computerized method for evaluating hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of a patient based on blood glucose (BG) data collected over a predetermined duration, said method comprising:computing on a computer weighted deviation of the BG of said patient toward high blood glucose (WR) from a predefined normal level;computing on a computer mean blood glucose (Dr); andestimating on a computer HbA1c using a predetermined mathematical formula based on said computed WR and Dr;defining predetermined categories for the estimate of HbA1c, each of said HbA1c estimate categories representing a range of values for estimated HbA1c; andassigning said estimated HbA1c to at least one of said HbA1c estimate categories.
