1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of glucose values of an individual for a plurality of points of time over a defined time period;
determining, using an electronic monitoring unit, for the plurality of points of time over the defined time period the relative integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia;
identifying, using the electronic monitoring unit, a glucose level condition of the individual based on said relative integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia; and
providing, using the electronic monitoring unit, a notification of the identified glucose level condition, wherein said notification comprises a display of a unified graphical representation of the integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia.

16. A method, comprising:
-
receiving from a glucose sensing device a plurality of glucose values of an individual for a plurality of points of time over a defined time period; determining with an electronic monitoring unit for the defined period of time a hyperglycemia index value determined by summing a difference between a measured glucose value and a predefined hyperglycemia threshold for each of the plurality of points of time, if any, at which the measured glucose value is in excess of a predefined hyperglycemia threshold value to arrive at a hyperglycemia index value; determining with the electronic monitoring unit for the defined period of time a hypoglycemia index value determined by summing a difference between a measured glucose value and a predefined hypoglycemia threshold for each of the plurality of points of time, if any, at which the measured glucose value is less than a predefined hypoglycemia threshold value to arrive at a hypoglycemia index value; determining with the electronic monitoring unit for the defined period of time a normoglycemia index value determined by summing a difference between the measured glucose value and the closest threshold value, whether the closest threshold value is the predefined hyperglycemia threshold or the predefined hypoglycemia threshold, for each of the plurality of points of time, if any, at which a measured glucose value is within a predefined range of values between the predefined hyperglycemia threshold and the predefined hypoglycemia threshold to arrive at a normoglycemia index value; and displaying the hyperglycemia index value, the hypoglycemia index value, and the normoglycemia index value on an electronic monitoring unit associated with the glucose sensing device, wherein displaying comprises displaying a unified, graphical representation of the integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a glucose sensing device coupled to an electronic monitoring unit, said electronic monitoring unit comprising a storage medium and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the storage medium adapted to program the electronic monitoring unit to enable the electronic monitoring unit to; receive a plurality of glucose values of an individual for a plurality of points of time over a defined time period; determine for the plurality of points of time over the defined time period the relative integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia; identify a glucose level condition of the individual based on said relative integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia; and provide a notification of the identified glucose level condition, wherein said notification comprises a display of a unified graphical representation of the integrated percentages of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and normoglycemia.
