Abstract
An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte. The analyte monitor may also be part of a drug delivery system to alter the level of the analyte based on the data obtained using the sensor.

2. A method for treating diabetes with an integrated glucose sensor and a medicament delivery device, comprising:
-
receiving sensor data from a glucose sensor, the sensor data comprising one or more sensor data points; calculating a medicament therapy recommendation based at least in part on the sensor data; validating the calculated medicament therapy recommendation based on at least one of data input into a receiver or data obtained from a single point glucose monitor; and outputting information reflective of the calculated medicament therapy recommendation responsive to a validated calculated medicament therapy recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A method for treating diabetes with an integrated glucose sensor and a medicament delivery device, comprising:
-
receiving medicament delivery data associated with medicament delivery from a medicament delivery device; receiving sensor data from a glucose sensor for a time period before and after a time of the medicament delivery, the sensor data comprising one or more sensor data points; determining a host'"'"'s metabolic response to the medicament delivery; receiving subsequent sensor data from the glucose sensor, the subsequent sensor data comprising one or more sensor data points; and calculating a medicament therapy based at least in part on the host'"'"'s metabolic response and the subsequent sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A method for estimating glucose levels from an integrated glucose sensor and medicament delivery device, comprising:
-
receiving sensor data associated with a glucose sensor, the sensor data comprising one or more sensor data points; receiving medicament delivery data associated with a medicament delivery device; evaluating the medicament delivery data with the sensor data corresponding to delivery and/or release of the medicament delivery data to determine one or more individual metabolic patterns associated with medicament delivery; and estimating glucose values based at least in part on the individual metabolic patterns and the sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
