Claim Text:
1. A method of enhancing readability of a graph showing glucose values received from a continuous glucose monitoring device (CGM) on the display of a handheld device, the method comprising: receiving, by the handheld device, a plurality of CGM glucose values from the continuous glucose monitoring device, where the plurality of CGM glucose values having a first fixed time interval between any two consecutive CGM glucose values; receiving, by the handheld device, a second time interval at which to display at least a portion of the plurality of CGM glucose values, the second time interval being greater than the first fixed time interval and being input by a user of the handheld device; determining, by a computer processor of the handheld device, a number of pixels on a display of the handheld device along an axis representing the second time interval; determining, by the computer processor, spacing between CGM glucose values to be plotted on a graph, where the spacing is a ratio between the number of pixels on the display and a number of CGM values to be displayed, such that the number of CGM values to be displayed is derived from the first fixed time interval and the second time interval; determining, by the computer processor, a representative glucose value for each pixel along the axis when the spacing between CGM glucose values is less than one, where each representative CGM value is derived from two or more received CGM values; displaying, by the computer processor, the representative glucose values on the display of the handheld device, the representative glucose value being displayed along the axis of the graph when the spacing between CGM glucose values is less than one: and displaying, by the computer processor, the plurality of CGM glucose values on the display of the handheld device, the plurality of CGM glucose values being displayed along the axis of the graph when the spacing between CGM glucose values is more than one.
