Apparatus, systems, and methods for determining and displaying pre-event and post-event analyte concentration levels
First Claim
1. A method of identifying and displaying events using a graphical user interface on a hand-held device, the method comprising:
- providing a hand-held device including a processor and a display operable to present a graphical user interface (GUI);
receiving at the hand-held device from a measurement device a pre-event glucose concentration reading and a post-event glucose concentration reading, both readings associated with a first event;
calculating a numerical delta between the pre-event glucose concentration reading and the post-event glucose concentration reading for the first event with the hand-held device; and
displaying on the GUI of the hand-held device a time graph including a representation of the first event occurring and the numerical delta associated with the first event wherein the numerical delta is displayed proximate to the representation of the occurrence of the first event to facilitate immediate visual evaluation of a relative magnitude of the numerical delta and an association with the first event, both indicating a significance of the first event.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, systems, and methods wherein pre-event and post-event analyte concentration readings associated with an event are collected and processed to determine a numerical delta. The numerical delta may be displayed on a visual display to aid in a ready determination of the affect that the event (alone or in combination with medication and/or insulin dosages) had on the analyte concentration levels. Medication and/or insulin dosages may be displayed alongside the numerical delta to gauge immediate relationships between numerical delta, dosage, and/or an associated event. Apparatus and systems for calculating and displaying the numerical delta are described, as are other aspects.

14. A method of identifying and displaying events using a graphical user interface on a hand-held analyte meter, the method comprising:
-
providing a hand-held analyte meter including a processor and a display operable to present a graphical user interface (GUI); measuring a pre-event glucose concentration reading from a sensor of the hand-held analyte meter and a post-event glucose concentration reading from a sensor of the hand-held analyte meter, both readings associated with a first event; calculating a numerical delta between the pre-event glucose concentration reading and the post-event glucose concentration reading for the first event with the hand-held analyte meter; and displaying on the GUI of the hand-held analyte meter a time graph including a representation of the first event occurring and the numerical delta associated with the first event wherein the numerical delta is displayed proximate to the representation of the occurrence of the first event to facilitate immediate visual evaluation of a relative magnitude of the numerical delta and an association with the first event, both indicating a significance of the first event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
