1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, using one or more processors, a signal associated with a monitored analyte level from an in vivo analyte sensor;
retrieving, using the one or more processors, a predetermined number of stored signals associated with the monitored analyte level;
processing, using the one or more processors, the received signal and the retrieved predetermined number of prior analyte level signals to determine a tolerance parameter;
comparing, using the one or more processors, the tolerance parameter to a predetermined tolerance range corresponding to a dynamically varying uncertainty parameter determined based upon a number of data available for determining a rate of change of the monitored analyte level; and
determining, using the one or more processors, a glucose trend information based on the received signal and the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals when the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range such that no more than a predetermined number of the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals is missing, wherein the tolerance parameter is related to a temporal spacing of the received signal and the retrieved stored signals.

9. An analyte monitoring device, comprising:
-
a communication unit to receive an analyte level related signal from an in vivo analyte sensor; a data processing unit coupled to the communication unit; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the data processing unit, causes the data processing unit to retrieve a predetermined number of stored signals associated with a monitored analyte level, process the received analyte level related signal and the retrieved predetermined number of prior analyte level signals to determine a tolerance parameter, compare the tolerance parameter to a predetermined tolerance range corresponding to a dynamically varying uncertainty parameter determined based upon a number of data available for determining a rate of change of the monitored analyte level, and determine glucose trend information based on the received signal and the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals when the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range such that no more than a predetermined number of the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals is missing, wherein the tolerance parameter is related to a temporal spacing of the received signal and the retrieved stored signals. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a communication unit to receive a current analyte level signal; a data processing unit coupled to the communication unit; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the data processing unit, causes the data processing unit to retrieve a predetermined number of prior analyte level signals, process the current analyte level signal and the retrieved predetermined number of prior analyte level signals to determine a tolerance parameter, compare the tolerance parameter to a predetermined tolerance range corresponding to a dynamically varying uncertainty parameter determined based upon a number of data available for determining a rate of change of a monitored analyte level, and determine a trend information based on the current analyte level signal, the retrieved predetermined number of prior analyte level signals when the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range such that no more than a predetermined number of signals of the retrieved predetermined number of prior analyte level signals is missing, wherein the tolerance parameter is related to a temporal spacing of the received signal and the retrieved stored signals. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
