Abstract

Claims (44)

1. A method for displaying a graphical representation of monitored glucose levels, the method comprising:

retrieving a meal schedule associated with a user, wherein the meal schedule includes one or more meal types, and wherein the meal schedule is for a predetermined time period;

retrieving a monitored glucose level associated with the predetermined time period, wherein the monitored glucose level is based on continuous glucose sensor data from a continuous glucose sensor, and wherein the continuous glucose sensor is configured to be subcutaneously positioned such that at least a portion of the continuous glucose sensor data is determined based on the continuous glucose sensor being in fluid contact with analytes of the user;

detecting a predetermined rate of increase in glucose level for a predetermined time period based in part on the monitored glucose level, wherein the predetermined rate of increase is associated with a predefined meal event, and wherein the predetermined rate of increase meets a predetermined threshold;

identifying, in the meal schedule, a meal event that corresponds to the predefined meal event;

arranging, in the graphical representation, the predetermined rate of increase in glucose level based on the one or more meal types of the meal schedule, wherein the arranging includes visually aligning the identified meal event with the predetermined rate of increase in glucose level; and

displaying the graphical representation on a display device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the continuous glucose sensor data comprises a rate of increase of the glucose level of the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more meal types is one of breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time period is a time period associated with the one or more meal types.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time period comprises at least two time periods associated with the one or more meal types.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the monitored glucose level comprises a plurality of monitored glucose levels and the one or more meal types comprises at least two meal types, and wherein arranging the monitored glucose level comprises arranging each glucose level of the monitored glucose levels based on the at least two meal types.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the one or more meal types and the monitored glucose level in a database.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

identifying a meal event based on the one or more meal types and the monitored glucose level;

determining at least one time information or date information for the meal event based on the predetermined time period; and

storing the at least one time information or date information with the meal event in the database.

9. A system for displaying a graphical representation of monitored analyte levels, the system comprising:

one or more processors;

computer memory; and

computer-readable instructions stored in the computer memory, wherein the instructions are configured to cause the one or more processors to:

retrieve a meal schedule associated with a user, wherein the meal schedule includes one or more meal types, and wherein the meal schedule is for a predetermined time period;

retrieve a monitored glucose level associated with the predetermined time period, wherein the monitored glucose level is based on continuous glucose sensor data from a continuous glucose sensor, and wherein the continuous glucose sensor is configured to be subcutaneously positioned such that at least a portion of the continuous glucose sensor data is determined based on the continuous glucose sensor being in fluid contact with analytes of the user;

detect a predetermined rate of increase in glucose level for a predetermined time period based in part on the monitored analyte level, wherein the predetermined rate of increase is associated with a predefined meal event, and wherein the predetermined rate of increase meets a predetermined threshold;

identify, in the meal schedule, a meal event that corresponds to the predefined meal event;

arrange, in the graphical representation, the predetermined rate of increase in glucose level based on the one or more meal types of the meal schedule, wherein the arranging includes visually aligning the identified meal event with the predetermined rate of increase in glucose level; and

display the graphical representation on a display device.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the continuous glucose sensor data comprises a rate of increase of the glucose level of the user.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more meal types is one of breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined time period is a time period associated with the one or more meal types.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined time period comprises at least two time periods associated with the one or more meal types.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the monitored glucose level comprises a plurality of monitored glucose levels and the one or more meal types comprises at least two meal types, and wherein arranging the monitored glucose level comprises arranging each glucose level of the monitored glucose levels based on the at least two meal types.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause to the one or more processors to store the one or more meal types and the monitored glucose level in a database.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations for displaying a graphical representation of continuous glucose sensor data, the operations comprising:

retrieving a meal schedule associated with a user, wherein the meal schedule includes one or more meal types, and wherein the meal schedule is for a predetermined time period;

retrieving a monitored glucose level associated with the predetermined time period, wherein the monitored glucose level is based on continuous glucose sensor data from a continuous glucose sensor, and wherein the continuous glucose sensor is configured to be subcutaneously positioned such that at least a portion of the continuous glucose sensor data is determined based on the continuous glucose sensor being in fluid contact with analytes of the user;

detecting a predetermined rate of increase in glucose level for a predetermined time period based in part on the monitored glucose level, wherein the predetermined rate of increase is associated with a predefined meal event, and wherein the predetermined rate of increase meets a predetermined threshold;

identifying, in the meal schedule, a meal event that corresponds to the predefined meal event;

arranging, in the graphical representation, the predetermined rate of increase in glucose level based on the one or more meal types of the meal schedule, wherein the arranging includes visually aligning the identified meal event with the predetermined rate of increase in glucose level; and

displaying the graphical representation on a display device.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the continuous glucose sensor data comprises a rate of increase of the glucose level of the user.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more meal types is one of breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the predetermined time period is a time period associated with the one or more meal types.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the monitored glucose level comprises a plurality of monitored glucose levels and the one or more meal types comprises at least two meal types, and wherein arranging the monitored glucose level comprises arranging each glucose level of the monitored glucose levels based on the at least two meal types.
