First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a metered blood glucose sample measurement from a patient while monitoring a blood glucose level in said patient by processing signals from a blood glucose sensor; and
determining a time for obtaining a subsequent metered blood glucose sample measurement from, said patient based, at least in part, on an indicator indicative of a reliability of said sensor.

Abstract
Subject matter disclosed herein relates to monitoring and/or controlling blood glucose levels in patients. In particular, times for obtaining metered blood glucose samples of a patient may be altered based, at least in part, on a blood glucose level of said patient observed from a blood glucose sensor.
