Abstract

Methods and systems for providing data communication in medical systems are disclosed.

Claims

1. A glucose monitoring device, comprising:

an in vivo glucose sensor that monitors glucose level; and

sensor electronics operatively coupled to the glucose sensor to receive and process signals from the glucose sensor, the sensor electronics generating a plurality of data packets for communication to a remote location, each generated data packet including one of a plurality of glucose monitoring device data, each glucose monitoring device data assigned with a communication time slot such that the sensor electronics sequentially communicates the plurality of generated data packets based on the assigned communication time slot, wherein each generated data packet includes the glucose data and the corresponding glucose monitoring device data assigned with the respective communication time slot.
