1. A method of indicating a rate of change in a user'"'"'s analyte level with reduced noise-induced variation, comprising:
- determining, with a processor, a first filtered value associated with analyte related data measured by an in vivo sensor during a first predetermined time period;
determining, with the processor, a second filtered value associated with analyte related data measured by the in vivo sensor during a second predetermined time period, wherein the first predetermined time period is greater than the second predetermined time period;
determining, with the processor, (a) a rate of change of an analyte level based, at least in part, on the analyte related data, and (b) a rate of change variation;
generating, with the processor, a weighted average value based upon the first filtered value and the second filtered value such that the first filtered value is weighted more than the second filtered value when the rate of change is greater than the rate of change variation and such that the second filtered value is weighted more than the first filtered value when the rate of change is less than the rate of change variation;
determining, with the processor, a filtered analyte value based at least in part on the weighted average value and a predetermined parameter to reduce noise-induced variation; and
dynamically displaying an indication based on the filtered analyte value to a user on a display of an analyte monitoring device.

8. An apparatus including an analyte monitoring device, comprising:
-
a communication unit adapted to receive analyte related data from an in vivo analyte sensor positioned in a body of a user; and a processor coupled to the communication unit, the processor configured to; determine a first filtered value associated with received analyte related data measured by the in vivo analyte sensor during a first predetermined time period; determine a second filtered value associated with received analyte related data measured by the in vivo analyte sensor over a second predetermined time period, wherein the first predetermined time period is greater than the second predetermined time period; determine (a) a rate of change of analyte level based, at least in part, on the received analyte related data, and (b) a rate of change variation; generate a weighted average value based upon the first filtered value and the second filtered value such that the first filtered value is weighted more than the second filtered value when the rate of change is greater than the rate of change variation and such that the second filtered value is weighted more than the first filtered value when the rate of change is less than the rate of change variation; determine a filtered analyte value based at least in part on the weighted average value and a predetermined parameter to reduce noise-induced variation; and cause the dynamic display of an indication based on the filtered analyte value to a user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
