1. A glucose measurement system comprising:

  • a) a biosensor having at least one electrode responsive to an electrochemical reaction between a fluid sample and an enzyme disposed on the at least one electrode, so that the electrochemical reaction of the biosensor provides a signal representative of a glucose level of the fluid sample;

    b) a storage device holding data including definitions of a plurality of state bands of blood glucose, and a plurality of rate bands of rate of change of blood glucose;

    c) a processor connected to the biosensor and the storage device and configured to receive successive signals from the biosensor and automatically determine and store corresponding glucose data values, so that the processor determines a rate of change of blood glucose and a corresponding one of the plurality of rate bands using the stored glucose data values and determines one of the plurality of state bands corresponding to a most recent one of the stored glucose data values; and

    d) a display coupled to the processor;

    e) the processor being further configured to display a state icon on the display in a color corresponding to the determined one of the plurality of state bands and to display a rate icon on the display in a color and shape corresponding to the determined one of the plurality of rate bands, in which the color of the state icon and the color of the rate icon extends over the entirety of each respective icon, so that the processor does not display any other indication of the determined rate of change or of any of the stored glucose data values and wherein neither the state icon nor the rate icon comprise numbers or graphs.
