Method for storing a series of measurements
First Claim
1. A method for storing a series of measured values which represent a time-dependent parameter measured in or on the human body, comprising:
- measuring a first number of measured values in a series; and
storing a second number of measured values in the series,wherein the second number is smaller than the first number.

Abstract
A method reducing storage volume of a series of measured time-dependent parameters measured in or on the human body such as glucose values from a continuous glucose monitor while permitting retrospective reconstruction of measured data with sufficient accuracy. The series comprises a first number of measured values, and a second number of values that are stored. In this case, the second number is smaller than the first number. A first storage mode is provided, in which an interval of time between successive stored values is variable and which is adjusted on the basis of a time-based variability of the measured values. A second storage mode may also be provided, in which the interval, of time between successive stored values is constant. Embodiments of the invention include a measuring apparatus and a computer program.

15. A method reducing storage volume of a series of measured time-dependent glucose values from a continuous glucose monitor while permitting retrospective reconstruction of measured data with sufficient accuracy, comprising:
-
measuring a first number of glucose values in a series by a continuous glucose monitor; analyzing whether the first number of glucose values is below or above a prescribed value; using a first storage mode that is adaptive if the first number of glucose values is below the prescribed threshold to store a second number of glucose values with an interval of time between successive stored values being variable and the second number of glucose values is smaller than the first number; using a second storage mode that is constant if the first number of glucose values is above the prescribed threshold to store the second number of glucose values with the interval of time between successive stored values being constant and the second number of glucose values is smaller than the first number; and
,storing trend values with the second number of glucose values to improve reconstruction of the first number of glucose values measurement curve.
