A monitoring feature, such as, for example, a pen cap, for an insulin delivery device may include at least one circuit adapted to detect at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap from an insulin pen and a processor for using information to the at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap. A monitoring feature for an insulin delivery device includes at least one circuit adapted to detect use of the insulin delivery device.

The embodiments described herein may relate to methods and systems for adjusting insulin delivery. Some methods and systems may be configured to adjust insulin delivery to personalize automated insulin delivery for a person with diabetes. Some methods and systems may be configured to adjust insulin delivery to a person with diabetes according to one or more conditions of an insulin delivery device. Some methods and systems may be configured to enable a lock-out mode where adjustment to insulin delivery to personalize automated insulin delivery is restricted.

A medical package containing a medical article, including: a support element comprising a hollow support tube and a support cap, wherein the support element includes a first chamber configured to enclose the medical article and wherein the support cap includes a support structure configured to hold the medical article captive; a stopper configured to be coupled to the hollow support tube in such a way that the support element has a grip part that protrudes from the stopper, the grip part of the support element configured to be held by a hand of a person; a hollow protective cover configured to be coupled to the stopper in such a way as to delimit, in cooperation with the stopper, a second chamber inside which there extends the grip part of the support element, the hollow protective cover configured to be separated from the stopper, wherein when the hollow protective cover is coupled to the stopper, a part of the stopper protrudes from the hollow protective cover, and is configured to form a grip end of the stopper that is configured to be held by a hand of a person, when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, wherein a part of the support element is configured to be engaged by force inside the stopper, and when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, the support element remains coupled to the stopper while the support element is also separable from the stopper when a person holds the grip part of the support element and pulls the support element so as to separate it from the stopper.

Products and methods directed to, but not limited to, a sample collection device, a sample collection booklet and a sample collection kit for collection of blood or other bodily fluids, and analytical workflows, protocols, databases and other applications for collecting, sorting, classifying and saving and retrieving information on the subject and characterizations regarding the blood or other bodily fluids of the subject.

An integrated system for the monitoring and treating diabetes is provided, including an integrated receiver/hand-held medicament injection pen, including electronics, for use with a continuous glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the receiver is configured to receive continuous glucose sensor data, to calculate a medicament therapy (e.g., via the integrated system electronics) and to automatically set a bolus dose of the integrated hand-held medicament injection pen, whereby the user can manually inject the bolus dose of medicament into the host. In some embodiments, the integrated receiver and hand-held medicament injection pen are integrally formed, while in other embodiments they are detachably connected and communicated via mutually engaging electrical contacts and/or via wireless communication.

A pedestal for a physiological characteristic sensor assembly and a physiological characteristic sensor assembly is provided. The pedestal includes a first side opposite a second side. The pedestal includes a sidewall that interconnects the first side and the second side. The pedestal also includes a first end opposite a second end. The pedestal includes at least one post that extends from the first side adjacent to the first end to couple the pedestal to a physiological characteristic sensor of the physiological characteristic sensor assembly. The pedestal also includes a recess defined in the sidewall at the second end. The recess has a first portion in communication with a second portion. The first portion has a first length that is less than a second length of the second portion along a perimeter of the sidewall, and the second portion is positionable to apply a force to the physiological characteristic sensor.

A method of displaying blood glucose information may include monitoring blood glucose levels of a user, where the blood glucose levels include at least a current blood glucose level and a historic blood glucose level. The method may also include presenting the current blood glucose level using a point indicator along an approximately horizontally centered axis based on a non-linear scale, and presenting the historic blood glucose level and a predicted future blood glucose level on the display as a single smoothed curve passing the point indicator.
