In the case of private scan, an entire control section saves, on a hard disk device, \u201csetting informationdata\u201d for scan as a record, and reads, when necessary, \u201csetting informationdata\u201d saved as a record on the hard disk device, thereby registering it as a template. The diabetes management system includes: a medical device operable to perform a diabetes care function in relation to a patient and store data related to the operation thereof; and a diabetes care manager in data communication with the medical device using a communication protocol defined in accordance with IEEE standard 11073. In use, at least one first data object is received. Otherwise, the system selects a bandwidth allocation algorithm from a second set of bandwidth allocation algorithms. The ability to make a system copy of publicly formatted data is exposed to the developer, eliminating the creation of unnecessary, and redundant copies.
