1. A method, comprising:
- programming a processor of an in vivo glucose monitoring system to;
determine if a predetermined number of signals from a glucose sensor positioned in fluid contact with interstitial fluid is below a threshold level during a predefined period of time following glucose sensor positioning;
detect attenuation in the predetermined number of signals when it is determined that the predetermined number of signals is below the threshold level during the predefined period of time following glucose sensor positioning;
report information related to a monitored glucose level when the predetermined number of signals is not determined to be below the threshold level during the predefined period of time following glucose sensor positioning;
report information related to the glucose sensor when the predetermined number of signals is determined to be below the threshold level during the predefined period of time following glucose sensor positioning; and
control administration of therapy based on the reported information related to the monitored glucose level;
wherein the detected attenuation in the predetermined number of signals is associated with a condition of the glucose sensor.

Abstract
Methods and devices to detect analyte in body fluid are provided. Embodiments include positioning an analyte sensor in fluid contact with an analyte, detecting an attenuation in a signal from an analyte sensor after positioning during a predetermined time period, categorizing the detected attenuation in the analyte sensor signal based, at least in part, on one or more characteristics of the signal, performing signal processing to generate a reportable data associated with the detected analyte sensor signal during the predetermined time period, managing if and when to request additional reference signal measurements, and managing if and when to temporarily not display results.
