Apparatus, systems, and methods for determining and displaying pre-event and post-event analyte concentration levels
First Claim
1. A hand-held device for identifying and displaying event readings, the hand-held device comprising:
- a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor;
software stored in the memory and executable by the processor; and
a display coupled to the processor and operable to present a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the processor executing the software is operable to;
receive at the hand-held device from a measurement device a first analyte concentration reading and a second analyte concentration reading, both readings associated with a first event;
calculate a numerical delta between the first analyte concentration reading and the second analyte concentration reading for the first event with the hand-held device; and
display on the display via the GUI 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.
