Method and apparatus for presentation of noninvasive glucose concentration information
First Claim
1. An apparatus for displaying effectiveness of therapy, comprising:
- a near-infrared noninvasive analyte property analyzer;
means for interactive selection of a first property, wherein said means are integrated into said analyzer, and wherein said first property comprises any of;
a time period;
an activity;
an exercise period;
an exercise routine;
a drug intake time;
a drug dosage;
an upper concentration limit of said analyte property;
a lower concentration limit of said analyte property; and
a limit of food element intake;
means for selection of a second property associated with said first property; and
display means for said second property.

Abstract
The invention relates to the extraction and/or presentation of glucose concentrations estimated as a function of time into a format that facilitates conveyance of the underlying information. More particularly, short term actions, such as exercise, diabetes drug treatment, and/or food intake, are correlated to glucose response profiles. Optionally, glucose concentration responses are back correlated to parameters, such as time, exercise, diabetes drug treatment and/or food intake. The resulting correlated data are output to the user in a time compressed format, in video format, and/or as a cluster allowing diagnosis and treatment information to be more readily determined and used. These information presentations are useful for both the medical professional and the end user. The information presentation is preferably used with a noninvasive, implantable, semi-continuous, and/or continuous analyte analyzer, such as a glucose concentration analyzer.
