Abstract

An integrated system for the monitoring and treating diabetes is provided, including an integrated receiver/hand-held medicament injection pen, including electronics, for use with a continuous glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the receiver is configured to receive continuous glucose sensor data, to calculate a medicament therapy (e.g., via the integrated system electronics) and to automatically set a bolus dose of the integrated hand-held medicament injection pen, whereby the user can manually inject the bolus dose of medicament into the host. In some embodiments, the integrated receiver and hand-held medicament injection pen are integrally formed, while in other embodiments they are detachably connected and communicated via mutually engaging electrical contacts and/or via wireless communication.

Claims

1. A method for processing continuous glucose sensor data and displaying a graphical representation of the processed sensor data, the method comprising:

processing continuous glucose sensor data generated using a continuous glucose sensor, the sensor data indicative of a host'"'"'s glucose concentration;

displaying a graphical representation of the processed sensor data on a display device, the displaying including graphing or charting glucose data summaries based on mealtimes of the host.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the processed sensor data includes averaged glucose values over a time period.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the time period is one of 1 day, 5 days, 7 days or 1 month.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the glucose data summaries are modal day graphs.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the glucose data summaries include bar charts.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the glucose data summaries include glucose trend data.
