Multi-scale display of blood glucose information
A method of displaying blood glucose information may include monitoring blood glucose levels of a user, where the blood glucose levels include at least a current blood glucose level and a historic blood glucose level. The method may also include presenting the current blood glucose level using a point indicator along an approximately horizontally centered axis based on a non-linear scale, and presenting the historic blood glucose level and a predicted future blood glucose level on the display as a single smoothed curve passing the point indicator.
1. A method of displaying blood glucose information, the method comprising:
monitoring blood glucose levels of a user, the blood glucose levels including at least a current blood glucose level and a historic blood glucose level;

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display includes a first color above the single smoothed curve and a different second color below the single smoothed curve.
3. The method of claim 2 , changing the first color, the different second color, or both based on the current blood glucose level.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the linear vertical scale of blood glucose values is anchored on the display based on the current blood glucose level plotted on the non-linear vertical scale of blood glucose values.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single smoothed curve provides a non-numerical representation of the predicted future blood glucose level.
6. The method of claim 1 , predicting a future blood glucose level using a predictive algorithm that uses insulin delivery and/or food consumption data.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predictive algorithm assumes a future basal insulin delivery that is adjusted based on a closed-loop insulin delivery algorithm.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the smoothed curve and/or the point indicator provide an approximation of the predicted future blood glucose level.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
presenting a blood glucose level representation that corresponds to the non-linear vertical scale of blood glucose levels, and
wherein the presented predicted future blood glucose level is presented relative to the blood glucose level representation.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the blood glucose level representation comprises one or more of numerical representations of blood glucose levels and non-numerical representations of blood glucose levels.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the blood glucose level representation comprises at least one region defined by a first numerical representation of a blood glucose level and a second numerical representation of a blood glucose level, and at least part of the presented predicted future blood glucose level corresponds to the at least one region.
12. A device for displaying blood glucose information, 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:
monitoring blood glucose levels of a user, the blood glucose levels including at least a current blood glucose level and a historic blood glucose level;
presenting the current blood glucose level using a point indicator centered on a horizontal axis, wherein the point indicator is displayed according to a non-linear vertical scale of blood glucose levels; and
presenting the historic blood glucose level and a predicted future blood glucose level on the display as a single smoothed curve passing through the point indicator wherein the historic blood glucose level and the predicted future blood glucose level are displayed according to a linear vertical scale of blood glucose levels.
13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the display includes a first color above the single smoothed curve and a different second color below the single smoothed curve.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise changing the first color, the different second color, or both based on the current blood glucose level.
15. The device of claim 12 , wherein the linear vertical scale of blood glucose values is anchored on the display based on the current blood glucose level plotted on the non-linear vertical scale of blood glucose values.
