The system and method further employ an output device, adapted to output at least one diagram representing the guideline data, with the diagram including at least one component representing a relationship of at least a portion of the feature data to at least a portion of the guideline data. The guideline and feature data could pertain to a medical condition, such as diabetes, and the output device could output the diagram as a display or a printed diagram.
