Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

Claims

1. A method for displaying glucose information to a user using a hand-held computing device, comprising:

displaying on a touch-sensitive display of a computing device a glucose chart including a trend line indicative of a glucose level of a host over a first time period;

displaying one or more event indicators on the chart, each event indicator positioned on the chart to indicate when an associated event occurred in time; and

changing the time period of the chart from the first time period to a second, different time period,

wherein changing the time period causes the event indicators to move on the chart so that the event indicators continue to indicate when the associated event occurred in time.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein changing the time period comprises receiving user input indicative of a request to change the time period.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the associated event is selected from the group consisting of food, insulin, exercise, sleep, and illness.

4. A method for displaying glucose information to a user using a hand-held computing device, comprising:

displaying on a touch-sensitive display of a computing device a glucose chart including a trend line indicative of a glucose level of a host over a first time period;

displaying one or more event indicators on the chart, each event indicator positioned on the chart to indicate when an associated event occurred in time; and

adding an indicator to the chart in response to the computing device detecting a predefined user input.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the predefined user input comprises touching a selected portion of the glucose chart.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the associated event is selected from the group consisting of food, insulin, exercise, sleep, and illness.

7. A method for displaying glucose information to a user using a hand-held computing device, comprising:

displaying on a touch-sensitive display of a computing device a glucose chart including a trend line indicative of a glucose level of a host over a first time period;

displaying one or more event indicators on the chart, each event indicator positioned on the chart to indicate when an associated event occurred in time; and

detecting a user selection of at least one of the one or more event indicators, and displaying further information on the display associated with the selected at least one event indicator.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein detecting the user selection comprises detecting a user-touch of the at least one event indicator on the display.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the additional information is displayed in a pop-up window.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the associated event is selected from the group consisting of food, insulin, exercise, sleep, and illness.
