Apparatus, systems and methods for determining and displaying pre-event and post-event analyte concentration levels
First Claim
1. A method of identifying and displaying events using a graphical user interface on a blood glucose meter, the method comprising:
- providing a blood glucose meter (BGM) including a processor and a display operable to present a graphical user interface (GUI);
measuring a pre-event glucose concentration reading from a blood glucose sensor and a post-event glucose concentration reading from a blood glucose sensor, both readings associated with a first event, using the BGM;
calculating a numerical delta between the pre-event glucose concentration reading and the post-event glucose concentration reading for the first event with the BGM; and
displaying on the GUI of the BGM a time graph including a representation of the first event occurring and the numerical delta associated with the first event wherein the numerical delta is displayed proximate to the representation of the occurrence of the first event to facilitate immediate visual evaluation of a relative magnitude of the numerical delta and an association with the first event, both indicating a significance of the first event.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, systems and methods wherein pre-event and post-event analyte concentration readings associated with an event are collected and processed to determine a numerical delta. The numerical delta may be displayed on a visual display to aid in a ready determination of the affect that the event (alone or in combination with medication and/or insulin dosages) had on the analyte concentration levels. Medication and/or insulin dosages may be displayed alongside the numerical delta to gauge immediate relationships between numerical delta, dosage and/or an associated event. Apparatus and systems for calculating and displaying the numerical delta are described, as are other aspects.
