Usability features for integrated insulin delivery system
Methods and systems for delaying alarms that include detecting an analyte level using an analyte sensor; and delaying the annunciation of an analyte alarm after the analyte level crosses an analyte threshold, wherein the delay is based on one or both of (1) a magnitude of difference between the analyte level and the analyte threshold and (2) a duration of time in which the analyte level has crossed the analyte threshold.
1. A method comprising:
detecting an analyte level of a user using an analyte sensor; and
delaying an annunciation of an analyte alarm after the analyte level crosses an analyte threshold, wherein an amount of the delay is based on a duration of time in which the analyte level has not exceeded the analyte threshold.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte threshold is a low analyte threshold.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte level is a glucose level.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the analyte level is an interstitial glucose level.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sounding an alarm after the delay.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein sounding the alarm after the delay is performed by an electronic device in communication with the analyte sensor.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the electronic device comprises a display for user input and output communication.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is further configured to recommend medication based on the analyte level.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the duration of time corresponds to a duration the analyte level was in a euglycemic range prior to exceeding the analyte threshold.
10. An analyte monitoring system comprising:
an analyte sensor configured for detecting an analyte level of a user;
a processor operably coupled to the analyte sensor; and
a memory operably coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes instructions stored therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
detect the analyte level using the analyte sensor; and
delay an annunciation of an analyte alarm after the analyte level crosses an analyte threshold, wherein an amount of the delay is based on a duration of time in which the analyte level has not exceeded the analyte threshold.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the analyte threshold is a low analyte threshold.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the analyte level is a glucose level.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the analyte level is an interstitial glucose level.
14. The system of claim 10 , further comprising sounding an alarm after the delay.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the electronic device comprises a display for user input and output communication.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the electronic device is further configured to recommend medication based on the analyte level.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the electronic device is further in communication with a medication delivery device.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the duration of time corresponds to a duration the analyte level was in a euglycemic range prior to exceeding the analyte threshold.
