Abstract:
1. A method for calibrating a handheld diabetes managing device to determine an estimated glucose level of a patient from data generated by a continuous glucose monitor, comprising: receiving, by a computer processor of a handheld diabetes managing device, a plurality of current samples sampled by a continuous glucose monitor over a time period, the current being related to a glucose level of the patient; determining, by the computer processor, a mean of the plurality of current samples; determining, by the computer processor, a median of the plurality of current samples; determining, by the computer processor, a standard deviation of the plurality of current samples; determining, by the computer processor, a quantile value of the plurality of current samples; measuring a blood glucose level of the patient at a first time using the diabetes managing device, where the first time is proximate to the sampling time period and the diabetes managing device cooperatively operates with a test strip to measure the blood glucose level in a sample of blood residing on the test strip; and determining, by the computer processor, a calibration equation that associates the plurality of current samples with the estimated glucose level of the patient based on the measured blood glucose level and the plurality of current samples, wherein the determination of the calibration equation is in response to the standard deviation being less than a first threshold and an absolute value of a difference between the mean and the median being less than a second threshold and a difference between the median and the quantile being less than a third threshold.
