1. A method of using insulin information for meal indication, comprising:
storing glucose data representative of sensed glucose of a patient over a period of time in a nonvolatile memory;
collecting, by a processor coupled to the nonvolatile memory, insulin timing information of the patient;
determining, by the processor, an occurrence of a meal implicitly based on the collected insulin timing information;
identifying, by the processor, a portion of the glucose data as being temporally related to the meal;
performing, by the processor, pattern analysis on the portion of the glucose data temporally related to the meal;
identifying, by the processor, a number of rise or fall patterns in the portion of the glucose data; and
providing a first treatment recommendation when the number of the rise or fall patterns is indicative of interday variability, and providing a second treatment recommendation when the number of the rise or fall patterns is indicative of intraday variability, wherein the first treatment recommendation is different than the second treatment recommendation.
