Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for receiving sensor data indicative of a glucose level from a glucose sensor configured to be positioned in contact with a bodily fluid under a skin surface of a subject, receiving, from a temperature sensor, temperature data indicative of a temperature of the skin surface, determining a rate of change of the glucose level, wherein the rate of change indicates a presence of a hypoglycemic condition, determining that a variation of the temperature of the skin surface is within a predetermined range of temperature values, and determining, in response to the variation of the temperature data, that the rate of change of the glucose level corresponds to a sensor signal attenuation.

Abstract: An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include detecting a concurrent occurrence of a decrease in monitored analyte level and a corresponding decrease in monitored on-skin temperature, confirming a presence of an impending hypoglycemic condition, and asserting a notification corresponding to the confirmed impending hypoglycemic condition. Devices, methods, systems and kits incorporating the same are also provided.
