Abstract

Claims (54)

1 . A method of displaying glucose information, the method comprising:

monitoring glucose levels of a user, the glucose levels including at least a current glucose level and a historic glucose level;

presenting a value representative of blood glucose as a plot point at a first location along a center vertical axis of a display based on a logarithmic scale, the value representative of blood glucose comprising the current glucose level;

presenting a further value representative of blood glucose as a further plot point at a second location on the display based on a linear scale, the further value representative of blood glucose at least partially based on the historic glucose level,

wherein the value presented at the first location and the further value presented at the second location are presented on the display simultaneously;

shifting the plot point to a third location along the center vertical axis of the display responsive to a change of the current glucose level;

responsive to the plot point shifting to the third location along the center vertical axis of the display, adjusting the linear scale upon which the second location of the further value is based by adjusting an anchor of the linear scale along the center vertical axis in a same direction in which the plot point was shifted to the third location along the center vertical axis; and

shifting the further plot point to a fourth location on the display based on the adjusted linear scale.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein values presented on the logarithmic scale below a threshold correspond to a larger area of the display than glucose levels presented on the logarithmic scale above the threshold.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the threshold includes approximately 200 mg/dL.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

calculating a future glucose level of the user; and

presenting a yet further value representative of blood glucose at a fifth location on the display based on the linear scale, the yet further value representative of blood glucose at least partially based on the future glucose level of the user.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising presenting an indication of a confidence level in the future glucose level.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the further plot point is displayed according to the linear scale and relative to the plot point.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a continuous line according to the linear scale and extending from the further value to the value.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the continuous line is a solid line.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying a facial avatar representative of the value;

modifying a first feature of the facial avatar in response to a change in glucose level; and

modifying a second feature of the facial avatar in response to a change in future glucose level.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first feature includes eyes of the facial avatar and wherein a location of the eyes corresponds to the value.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second feature of the facial avatar includes eyebrows of the facial avatar and wherein an orientation of the eyebrows corresponds to a future glucose level.

12 . A device for displaying glucose information, the device comprising:

a display;

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to perform operations, the operations comprising:

obtain monitored glucose levels for a user, the glucose levels including at least a current glucose level and a historic glucose level;

present a value representative of blood glucose as a plot point at a first location along a center vertical axis of the display based on a logarithmic scale, the value representative of blood glucose comprising the current glucose level;

present a further value representative of blood glucose as a further plot point at a second location on the display based on a linear scale, the further value representative of blood glucose at least partially based on the historic glucose level,

wherein the value presented at the first location and the further value presented at the second location are presented on the display simultaneously;

shift the plot point to a third location along the center vertical axis of the display responsive to a change of the current glucose level;

responsive to the plot point shifting to a third location along the center vertical axis of the display, adjust the linear scale upon which the second location of the further value is based by adjusting an anchor of the linear scale along the center vertical axis in a same direction in which the plot point was shifted to the third location along the center vertical axis; and

shift the further plot point to a fourth location on the display based on the adjusted linear scale.

13 . The device of claim 12 , further comprising a communication device configured to communicate with a glucose monitoring device via which the device obtains the monitored glucose levels.

14 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

calculate a future glucose level of the user; and

present a yet further value representative of blood glucose at a fifth location on the display based on the linear scale, the yet further value representative of blood glucose at least partially based on the future glucose level of the user.

15 . A system for displaying glucose information, the system comprising:

a glucose monitoring device configured to monitor glucose levels of a user;

a display;

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

obtain the glucose levels from the glucose monitoring device, the glucose levels including at least a current glucose level and a historic glucose level;

present a value representative of blood glucose as a plot point at a first location along a center vertical axis of the display based on a logarithmic scale, the value representative of blood glucose comprising the current glucose level; and

present a further value representative of blood glucose as a further plot point at a second location on the display based on a linear scale, the further value representative of blood glucose at least partially based on the historic glucose level,

wherein the value presented at the first location and the further value presented at the second location are presented on the display simultaneously;

shift the plot point to a third location along the center vertical axis of the display responsive to a change of the current glucose level;

responsive to the plot point shifting to a third location along the center vertical axis of the display, adjust the linear scale upon which the second location of the further value is based by adjusting an anchor of the linear scale along the center vertical axis in a same direction in which the plot point was shifted to the third location along the center vertical axis; and

shift the further plot point to a fourth location on the display based on the adjusted linear scale.

16 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising a communication device configured to communicate with the glucose monitoring device to obtain the monitored glucose levels.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

calculate a future glucose level of the user; and

present a yet further value representative of blood glucose at a fifth location on the display based on the linear scale, the yet further value representative of blood glucose at least partially based on the future glucose level of the user.
