1. A system for communicating glycemic risk to a patient, comprising:
- a continuous glucose monitoring device that generates a series of data points indicative of a glucose level in the patient; and
processing circuitry configured to iteratively;
calculate a glucose level and a rate of change of the glucose level based on the series of data points;
determine a dynamic risk score based a nonlinear transformation that converts the current glucose level and the rate of change of the current glucose level to a dynamic risk score; and
select a color from a color scale based on the dynamic risk score, the color scale comprising a plurality of colors, each color indicative of one of a plurality of risk levels of the patient; and
display, on a user interface, the current glucose level, the rate of change, and the color indicative of one of a plurality of risk levels of the patient so that glycemic risk is communicated.

Abstract
A device for generating alerts for Hypo and Hyperglycemia Prevention from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) determines a dynamic risk based on both information of glucose level and a trend obtainable from a CGM signals. The device includes a display whose color depends on the DR (for example, red for high DR, green for low risk). When DR exceeds a certain threshold, alerts are generated to suggest the patient to pay attention to the current glucose reading and to its trend, both of which are shown on the display in numbers and symbols (e.g. an arrow with different slope or color).
