Reviewer 2 Report
The authors propose a system to provide the diabetes patient with feedback covering several aspects of his/her lifestyle. A server aggregates the input from many sensors, thus monitoring patient's lifestyle details that have a known influence on Blood Glucose: food, activity, sleep periods, medication. Such data enables the patient (or the doctor) to observe how the lifestyle impacts the BG and undertake compensating actions.
The paper is interesting and well written. Some of the ideas are original (like the smart tray). The weaknesses of the article are that:
-) there is not an experimental part for assessing the practical validity of the proposal;
-) the details of the project, like the data model, or the source code, are not disclosed, which is a firm limit for its scientific value since it is impossible to reproduce or improve it.
If the editors accept the above shortcomings, the paper is almost ready for publication. Otherwise the authors are encouraged to extend the paper in that direction.
Minor:
Define the acronyms the first time they occur (e.g., SMBG).
Line 400 (Conclusions): area -> are.
