Claim 9:
10. A system for using insulin information for meal indication, comprising:
a glucose sensor configured to collect glucose data representative of sensed glucose levels of a patient;
a nonvolatile memory in which is stored the glucose data representative of sensed glucose levels of the patient over a period of time; and
a processor coupled with the nonvolatile memory, wherein the processor is programmed to:
collect insulin timing information of the patient;
determine an occurrence of a meal implicitly based on the collected insulin timing information;
identify a portion of the glucose data as being temporally related to the meal;
identify a number of rise or fall patterns in the portion of the glucose data; and
provide a first treatment recommendation when the number of the rise or fall patterns is indicative of interday variability, and provide 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.
