1. A glucose monitoring device, comprising:
- a housing;
an output unit coupled to the housing for outputting information related to a monitored analyte level;
an antenna coupled to the housing; and
a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader component coupled to the housing and the antenna, the RFID reader component configured to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal and to detect a backscattering radio wave including digitally encoded data representing the analyte level determined by an analyte sensor.

Abstract
A glucose monitoring system, includes a glucose sensor strip or package of strips. The strip includes a substrate and a glucose monitoring circuit that has electrodes and a bodily fluid application portion of selected chemical composition. An antenna is integrated with the glucose sensor strip. A RFID sensor chip is coupled with the glucose sensor strip and the antenna. The chip has a memory containing digitally-encoded data representing calibration and/or expiration date information for the strip.
