Patent Images
1. An analyte monitoring system comprising:
- a sensor positionable on a living body of a user and configured to measure a concentration of an analyte in the living body of the user at a sampling interval;
a database storage in which is stored a plurality of different sampling interval patterns, each sampling interval pattern identifying a different combination of sampling intervals of different duration at which the concentration of the analyte is measured;
meal data setting means for setting information identifying contents of a meal consumed by the user;
sampling interval setting means which uses the information identifying the contents of the meal consumed by the user for setting one of the sampling interval patterns stored in the database storage; and
the sensor measuring the concentration of the analyte at the sampling intervals identified by the sampling interval pattern set by the sampling interval setting means.

Abstract
An analyte monitoring system, which can be used to monitor blood sugar, is provided with a sensor which detects a plurality of blood sugar levels in blood on the basis of a sampling interval, a meal data setting unit which sets information based on meal contents, and a sampling interval setting unit which sets the sampling interval of the sensor using the information based on meal contents set by the meal data setting unit. By predicting a fluctuation curve of the blood sugar level after a meal by information based on meal contents to thereby change the sampling interval, a fluctuation state of the blood sugar level can be efficiently monitored.

8. An analyte monitoring system comprising:
-
detection means configured to be embedded in a body of a user for detecting concentration of an analyte at a sampling interval; meal data setting means for setting information based on meal contents; sampling interval setting means for setting the sampling interval at which the detection means detects the concentration of the analyte using the information based on meal contents set by the meal data setting means; and wherein the analyte monitoring system continuously measures the analyte by the detection means. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
setting meal contents identifying contents of a meal consumed by a user; using the meal contents of the meal consumed by the user to select one sampling interval pattern out of a plurality of different sampling interval patterns, each of the sampling interval patterns identifying a different combination of sampling intervals at which a concentration of an analyte in a living body of the user is measured; positioning a sensor on the living body of the user so that at least a part of the sensor is embedded in the living body of the user; and using the sensor to measure the concentration of the analyte in the living body at sample intervals identified by the selected sampling interval pattern. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
