1. A method of diabetes management, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of readings over time from an analyte sensor;
processing each of the readings to generate analyte data;
receiving information about external factors;
using the analyte data to estimate a bolus amount of medication to be dispensed from a single dose medication device based on the analyte data in combination with the external factors; and
displaying an instruction to deliver the bolus amount.

Abstract
An analyte sensor and systems for determining analyte levels in a user'"'"'s body. The analyte sensor and systems are adapted to be used with single dose medication devices and include a communication system to transmit the communications from the analyte sensor to the user to notify the user of an estimated amount of fluid to deliver to the user'"'"'s body. More particularly, these apparatuses and methods for use are for providing convenient monitoring of blood glucose levels in determining the appropriate amount of insulin to deliver.
