Abstract
Graphical representation of glycemic variation and average blood glucose values. The invention comprises storing in a memory a series of blood glucose values measured over a period of time; determining, using a processor, a variation value for the series of blood glucose values during the time period based on a standard deviation of the series of blood glucose values; plotting points using the processor for each of the blood glucose values around a center point where the radial distance from the center point to each point to be plotted is determined based on the variation value and a blood glucose value of the point to be plotted, and outputting to a display operative coupled to the processor, a graphical representation of the plotted series of blood glucose values and an indicia representative of the variation value.
