1. A receiver unit in an analyte monitoring system, comprising:

  • a housing;

    a receiver coupled to the housing, the receiver configured to receive one or more signals related to an analyte level;

    an input device operatively coupled to the housing, the input device configured to initiate one or more functions of the receiver; and

    a display unit coupled to the housing, the display unit configured to display an indicator substantially corresponding to the received one or more signals related to the analyte level, where the indicator includes a directional arrow, and further, wherein a position of the displayed directional arrow substantially corresponds to the received one or more signals related to the analyte level;

    wherein the receiver is configured to activate the directional arrow indicator upon detection of a predetermined condition associated with the received one or more signals related to the analyte level, the predetermined condition resulting from a comparison of the received one or more signals related to the analyte level to a threshold value and a determination that the comparison results in the received one or more signals related to the analyte level reaching the threshold value; and

    furtherwherein the receiver unit enters a sleep mode if the input device has not been activated for a predetermined period of time, and the sleep mode allows the receiver to receive information associated with the one or more signals related to the analyte level but not output the information on the display unit.
