  • Publication number: 20230046040
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided that determine analyte trends according to different methods depending on whether a change-resistant state is active or not active. The method used when the change-resistant state is activated provides for different requirements for a resulting analyte trend to transition between states (e.g., level to non-level). Furthermore, in some aspects, methods, devices, and systems of selecting or modifying a response rate of an analyte monitoring device for an individual user are provided. User instructions for selecting or modifying a response rate of the device or system is received externally via a user interface or communication channel. The response rate of the analyte monitoring device or system is then selected or modified to the first response rate, and the device or system operated with the first response rate.
