1. A method of determining glucose information, comprising:
- receiving, at a receiving device, a signal associated with a monitored analyte level from an in vivo analyte sensor by a communication protocol;
retrieving stored signals associated with the monitored analyte level;
determining whether the retrieved stored signals exceed a preset tolerance level such that no more than a predetermined number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt;
when the retrieved stored signals do not exceed the preset tolerance level such that no more than the predetermined number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt, determining a rate of change of the monitored analyte level based on the received signal associated with the monitored analyte level and the retrieved stored signals, and outputting the determined rate of change on a display of the receiving device; and
when the retrieved stored signals exceed the preset tolerance level such that more than the predetermined number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt, temporarily disabling an alarm from being output by the receiving device.

12. A device, comprising:
-
a display; an alarm; one or more processors; and a memory, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; receive a signal associated with a monitored analyte level from an in vivo analyte sensor by a communication protocol; retrieve stored signals associated with the monitored analyte level; determine whether the retrieved stored signals exceed a preset tolerance level such that no more than a predetermined number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt; when the retrieved stored signals do not exceed the preset tolerance level such that no more than the predetermined number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt, determine a rate of change of the monitored analyte level based on the received signal associated with the monitored analyte level and the retrieved stored signals, and output the determined rate of change on the display; and when the retrieved stored signals exceed the preset tolerance level such that more than the predetermined number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt, temporarily disable an alarm from being output. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
