Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
receiving multiple types of physiologic information via an ambulatory medical device, the physiologic information respectively sensed from a patient by two or more physiologic sensors, the received physiologic information correlated to, and different from, a direct glucose level measurement, the multiple types of physiologic information comprising at least one of cardiac electrical information indicative of an electrical activity of a heart or tissue of the patient or cardiac mechanical information indicative of a mechanical activity of the heart or tissue of the patient;
receiving, via an assessment circuit, information about patient risk of abnormal blood glucose level including at least a first risk level and a second risk level different from the first risk level;
selecting a first type or portion of the multiple types of received physiologic information based on the received first risk level, and selecting a second type or portion of the multiple types of received physiologic information based on the received second risk level, the second type or portion different from the first type or portion;
determining, via the assessment circuit, a glucose index indicative of an abnormal blood glucose level for the patient, including determining a first glucose index using the selected first type or portion of the multiple types of received physiologic information, and determining a second glucose index using the selected second type or portion of the multiple types of received physiologic information; and
triggering measurement from a third sensor, separate from the two or more physiologic sensors, to directly measure a glucose level based on the determined glucose index satisfying a condition.
