17. A method of providing analyte information of a user via an analyte meter having a microcontroller coupled to a memory, display, user interface buttons, and an analyte sensor, the method comprising:
-
measuring with the analyte sensor for at least one analyte present in each of a plurality of physiological samples taken over a first predetermined time period; storing analyte values representative of the at least one analyte present in each of the plurality of physiological samples; determining whether a number of the stored analyte values over the first predetermined time period meets a minimum threshold; presenting, upon completion of a current analyte measurement and achievement of at least the minimum threshold of the number of stored analyte values, at least one of two selectable message headers comprising; (a) review of the stored analyte values over the predetermined time period;
or(b) trend pattern of the stored analyte values; revealing, upon selection of the message header for review of stored analyte values, a message indicative of a distribution of stored analyte values over at least one of a predetermined range, a first threshold or a second threshold higher than the first threshold; and manifesting, upon selection of the message header for trend pattern, a message indicative of a trend of the stored values over a second predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
