DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING BLOOD GLUCOSE CHARACTERISTICS
First Claim
1. A device for determining blood glucose characteristics, comprising:
- a sensor input configured for receiving a signal from a sensor, the signal being based on a sensed blood glucose value of a user, a memory configured for storing a plurality of measurements of the sensed blood glucose value of the user from the received signal from the sensor, a display configured for presenting a graphical representation of the plurality of measurements of the blood glucose value, and a controller configured for controlling the presentation of the graphical representation on the display, wherein the graphical representation comprises a trend indicator adapted to indicate an approximate value trend in the sensed blood glucose value over a recent series of the plurality of measurements, and wherein the trend indicator comprises a plurality of graphical segments, each of the graphical segments being of different graphical style and assigned to a different range of sensed blood glucose values, each segment being selectably configured for indicating a transition from a first range of sensed blood glucose values to second range of sensed blood glucose values.

Abstract
A device is provided for determining blood glucose characteristics including a display configured for presenting a graphical representation of a plurality of measurements of blood glucose values, wherein the graphical representation comprises a trend indicator indicating an approximate value trend in the sensed blood glucose value over a recent series of measurements, based on graphical segments having different graphical styles assigned to different ranges of sensed blood glucose values in order to indicating a transition from a first range to a second range of sensed blood glucose values. An associated method for operating a device for determining blood glucose characteristics is also provided.

9. A method for operating a device for determining blood glucose characteristics, the method comprising steps of:
-
receiving a signal from a sensor by a sensor input, the signal being based on a sensed blood glucose value of a user, storing a plurality of measurements of the sensed blood glucose value of the user from the received signal from the sensor in a memory, presenting a graphical representation of the plurality of measurements of the blood glucose characteristic value on a display, and controlling the presentation of the graphical representation on the display by a controller; wherein the step of presenting the graphical representation further comprises presenting a trend indicator indicating an approximate value trend in the sensed blood glucose value over a recent series of the plurality of measurements, the trend indicator comprising a plurality of graphical segments, each of the graphical segments being of different graphical style and assigned to a different range of sensed blood glucose values, thereby for sensed blood glucose value indicating a transition from a first range of sensed blood glucose values to second range of sensed blood glucose values.
