1. A method of avoiding unnecessary hyperglycemic alerts, the method comprising:
- initially activating a first alert state based on a first criteria associated with a hyperglycemic condition of a host;
waiting a time period before providing an output associated with the first alert state;
actively monitoring, by a processor module, data associated with the host'"'"'s hyperglycemic condition during the waiting time period;
providing an output associated with the first alert state after the waiting time period based on the data associated with the host'"'"'s hyperglycemic condition meeting a second criteria, wherein the first criteria includes a first glucose level threshold and the second criteria includes a second glucose level threshold higher than the first glucose level threshold;
not providing the output associated with the first alert state after the waiting time period based on the data associated with the host'"'"'s hyperglycemic condition not meeting the second criteria; and
transitioning from the first alert state to an inactive alert state based on the data associated with the host'"'"'s hyperglycemic condition meeting a third criteria, wherein the third criteria includes a third glucose level threshold lower than the first glucose level threshold.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing sensitive and specific alarms indicative of glycemic condition are provided herein. In an embodiment, a method of processing sensor data by a continuous analyte sensor includes: evaluating sensor data using a first function to determine whether a real time glucose value meets a first threshold; evaluating sensor data using a second function to determine whether a predicted glucose value meets a second threshold; activating a hypoglycemic indicator if either the first threshold is met or if the second threshold is predicted to be met; and providing an output based on the activated hypoglycemic indicator.
