1. An apparatus for the continuous glucose monitoring of a user, comprising:
- a sensor control device operable with an analyte sensor that is insertable into the body of the user, the sensor control device comprising;
analyte monitoring circuitry adapted to process data received from the analyte sensor;
a processor communicatively coupled with the analyte monitoring circuitry; and
an activation circuit comprising an optical activation sensor coupled with the processor, the activation circuit being adapted to, upon the sensing of optical light by the optical activation sensor, connect a power supply to the processor to supply power to the processor and allow the processor to initiate operation.
