Analyte monitoring device and methods of use
First Claim
1. A method, comprising;
- positioning at least a portion of a glucose sensor in vivo;
maintaining the in vivo position for a predetermined time period;
during the predetermined time period that the portion of the glucose sensor is positioned in vivo not calibrating the glucose sensor by a user;
displaying, on a display unit, information related to signals generated by the glucose sensor after in vivo positioning of the glucose sensor, wherein the information displayed on the display unit is associated with glucose level in interstitial fluid monitored with the glucose sensor; and
disabling the display unit and entering a sleep mode when an input device operatively coupled to the display unit is not activated for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract
An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte. The analyte monitor may also be part of a drug delivery system to alter the level of the analyte based on the data obtained using the sensor.
