1. A device comprising:
- a blood glucose measurement unit configured to obtain a glucose level of a sample of blood from a user in response to a trigger signal generated based on a user input;
a determining unit configured to(a) use information provided by one or more sensors to determine a level of intensity of physical activity in each of plural consecutive time periods and to record a value for the determined level of intensity along with an indication of an associated time period in the storage unit,(b) use information provided by the one or more sensors to calculate a measure of physical activity of the user, and(c) calculate a medicament dose using at least the measured glucose level and the measure of physical activity of the user, and a time elapsed between an instance of physical activity and a current time and to afford a higher weight(i) to an instance of physical activity occurring more recently with respect to the current time, and(ii) to an instance of physical activity having a higher level of intensity such that the higher level of intensity results in a disproportionately greater increase in the weight afforded to the medicament dose than a respective recorded value of the determined level of intensity; and
a display unit configured to indicate the calculated medicament dose to the user.

Abstract
A device comprising:
- means for obtaining a parameter of a sample of body fluid from a user;
- means for using information provided by one or more sensors to calculate a measure of physical activity of the user;
- means for calculating a medicament dose using at least in part the measured parameter and the measure of physical activity of the user; and
- means for indicating the calculated medicament dose to the user.

13. A method of operating a device, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a measure of a glucose level of a sample of blood from a user in response to a trigger signal generated based on a user input; using information provided by one or more sensors to determine a level of intensity of physical activity in each of plural consecutive time periods and to record the determined intensity information along with an indication of the associated time period in a storage unit; using information provided by the one or more sensors to calculate a measure of physical activity of the user; calculating a medicament dose using at least the measured parameter, the measure of physical activity of the user and a time elapsed between an instance of physical activity and a current time and affording a higher weight (i) to an instance of physical activity occurring more recently with respect to the current time, and (ii) to an instance of physical activity having a higher level of intensity such that the higher level of intensity results in a disproportionately greater increase in the weight afforded to the medicament dose than a respective recorded value of the determined level of intensity; and indicating the calculated medicament dose to the user.
