Dynamic display of glucose information

The present application is a continuation in part of pending application Ser. No. 12/024,082 filed Jan. 31, 2008 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Providing Treatment Profile Management” which claims priority to provisional application No. 61/015,185 filed Dec. 19, 2007, entitled “Medical Devices and Methods” assigned to the Assignee of the present application, Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., of Alameda, Calif., the disclosure of each of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

Analyte, e.g., glucose, monitoring systems including continuous and discrete monitoring systems generally include a small, lightweight battery powered and microprocessor controlled system which is configured to detect signals proportional to the corresponding measured glucose levels using an electrometer, and RF signals to transmit the collected data. One aspect of certain analyte monitoring systems include a transcutaneous or subcutaneous analyte sensor configuration which is, for example, partially mounted on the skin of a subject whose analyte level is to be monitored. The sensor cell may use a two or three-electrode (work, reference and counter electrodes) configuration driven by a controlled potential (potentiostat) analog circuit connected through a contact system.

With increasing use of pump therapy for Type 1 diabetic patients, young and old alike, the importance of controlling the infusion device such as external infusion pumps is evident. Indeed, presently available external infusion devices typically include an input mechanism such as buttons through which the patient may program and control the infusion device. Such infusion devices also typically include a user interface such as a display which is configured to display information relevant to the patient\'s infusion progress, status of the various components of the infusion device, as well as other programmable information such as patient specific basal profiles.

In the course of using the analyte monitoring system and the infusion device, data associated with a patient\'s physiological condition such as monitored analyte levels, insulin dosage information, for example, may be stored and processed. As the complexity of these systems and devices increase, so do the amount of data and information associated with the system/device.

In accordance with the various embodiments of the present disclosure, there are provided method system including displaying a first representation of a medication treatment parameter profile, displaying a first representation of a physiological profile associated with the medication treatment parameter profile, detecting a modification to a segment of the medication treatment parameter profile, displaying a modified representation of the medication treatment parameter profile and the physiological profile based on the detected modification to the segment of the medication treatment parameter profile, modifying an attribute of the first representation of the medication treatment parameter profile, and modifying an attribute of the first representation of the physiological profile are provided.

These and other objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments, the appended claims and the accompanying drawings.
