Claims20
A method, comprising:
- actuating a button of an inserter to cause steps (a) and (b) to be performed without further user intervention:
- (a) positioning a portion of a glucose sensor and a sharp at a first predetermined location at a first velocity, wherein the first predetermined location comprises an insertion site on a patient's skin, and
- (b) after reaching the first predetermined location, positioning the portion of the glucose sensor to a predetermined insertion depth, and displacing the sharp to a second predetermined location at a second velocity different from the first velocity;
- and
- detecting, by the glucose sensor, one or more signals associated with a glucose level of a bodily fluid of the patient, wherein the glucose level is an in vivo glucose level;
- wirelessly transmitting, by a transmitter unit in electrical communication with the glucose sensor, data corresponding to the one or more signals associated with the glucose level to a first display device and a second display device;
- and
- displaying on the first display device or the second display device the data corresponding to the one or more signals associated with the glucose level after a waiting period, wherein the waiting period is less than about one hour after the glucose sensor is positioned in the patient's skin.
