Claim 36:
37. An apparatus comprising:
a receiving means for receiving data describing glucose measurements from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system worn by a user;
a predicting means for predicting glucose values for the user during a future time period based on the data;
a determining means for determining that at least one predicted glucose value satisfies a threshold value for an alert, the alert being associated with a prediction horizon that defines how far into the future time period the predicted glucose values are considered relative to the threshold value for the alert;
an alert means for causing output of the alert in a user interface of a computing device responsive to determining that the at least one predicted glucose value satisfies the threshold value within the prediction horizon, relative to a current time;
the receiving means being further configured to receive additional data describing observed glucose measurements during the future time period;
a comparing means for comparing one or more of the predicted glucose values with one or more of the observed glucose measurements during the future time period;
a modification means for modifying the prediction horizon based on a difference between the one or more of the observed glucose measurements and the one or more of the predicted glucose values; and
the alert means being further configured to cause output of a subsequent instance of the alert in the user interface based on the modified prediction horizon.
