Methods for automatically monitoring analyte concentration using minimally invasive devices
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring the concentration of analyte in a host, said method comprising:
- selecting a time period over which said analyte concentration is monitored;
selecting a scheduling mode for monitoring said analyte concentration over said time period;
making two or more analyte concentration measurements during said time period according to said scheduling mode, wherein said measurements are made automatically without human intervention;
modifying said scheduling mode based on results of said two or more analyte concentration measurements; and
making one or more additional analyte concentration measurements during said time period according to said modified scheduling mode, wherein said additional measurements are made automatically without human intervention.

Abstract
A method of monitoring the concentration of an analyte in a host or portion thereof over a given period of time. The method includes the steps of: (a) making a first analyte concentration measurement at a first point of time using a single use analyte concentration measuring device; (b) making a second analyte concentration measurement at a second point in time using a single use analyte concentration measuring device; and (c) making one or more additional analyte concentration measurements using another single use measuring device, wherein the analyte concentration measurements are made according to a selected schedule to monitor the concentration of analyte in a host over a given portion of time.
