1. A method, comprising:
- measuring with a glucose sensing device a plurality of glucose values of an individual for a plurality of points of time over a defined time period;
fitting the plurality of glucose values to at least a portion of a curve;
identifying a glucose level condition of the individual based on said at least a portion of a curve to which the plurality of glucose values fit; and
providing a notification of the glucose level condition to the individual.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention teach the use of shape recognition methods, apparatuses, and systems to classify the shape of one or more recent glucose trends during continuous glucose monitoring and to warn the user when specific shapes or trends are identified. Using such embodiments, patients with diabetes may be warned before they become overtly hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic.
