Claim 0:
1. A method for analyzing glucose monitoring data, comprising:
using a system which includes:
a data processing device; and
a display device, to perform the steps of:
receiving glucose monitoring data, the glucose monitoring data:
indicating a glucose level sampled from a bodily fluid of a person at a plurality of sample times over a measurement time period in a glucose level measurement; and
comprising a plurality of glucose profiles, each of the glucose profiles comprising a plurality of glucose values each assigned to one of the plurality of sample times;

for the plurality of glucose profiles, determining a minimum glucose value and a maximum glucose value for each of a selected group of sample times or each of the plurality of sample times, wherein the glucose monitoring data includes minimum glucose values higher than a pre-determined low glucose value and maximum glucose values smaller than a pre-determined high glucose value;
providing first display signals representing the minimum glucose value aid the maximum glucose value for each of the selected group of sample times or each of the plurality of sample times in the form of a curve;
outputting the first display signals to the display device;
displaying a first graphical representation according to the first display signals on the display device; and
substituting, for one or more samples times in the curve representing the minimum glucose value and the curve representing the maximum glucose value for each of the selected group of sample times or each of the plurality of samples times:
the minimum glucose value by the pre-determined low glucose value when the minimum glucose value is determined higher than the pre-determined low glucose value; and
the maximum glucose value by the pre-determined high glucose value when the maximum glucose value is determined smaller than the pre-determined high glucose value,

wherein the first graphical representation includes:
i) a minimum line which includes the curve representing the minimum glucose value for each of the selected group of sample times or each of the plurality of sample times and the pre-determined low glucose value; and
ii) a maximum line which includes the curve representing the maximum glucose value for each of the selected group of sample times or each of the plurality of sample times and the pre-determined high glucose value; and

making a decision to increase a basal rate dosage of insulin to the person based upon a review of the first graphical representation by examining the minimum line and determining that there are no outliers below a hypoglycemic boundary, and administering the increased dosage to the person.
