Data-Stream Bridging for Sensor Transitions

Data-stream bridging for sensor transitions is described. A first data stream of glucose measurements is received from a first glucose sensor worn by a user. A termination event for the first glucose sensor is detected when production and/or communication of the first glucose measurements via the first data stream ceases. Next, a second data stream of glucose measurements is received from a second glucose sensor worn by the user that replaces the first glucose sensor. During a warmup period for the second glucose sensor, estimated glucose values are output for the user based on both the first data stream of glucose measurements received from the first glucose sensor prior to the termination event and the second data stream of glucose measurements received from the second glucose sensor.
