Analyte detection system with user interface providing event entry

A method of analyzing an analyte of interest in the body fluid of a patient, said method comprising:

• placing a body fluid analyzer in fluid communication with said body fluid in said patient;
• transporting a sample of said body fluid toward said body fluid analyzer;
• with said body fluid analyzer, determining a level of said analyte of interest in said body fluid, while said analyzer is in fluid communication with said body fluid in said patient;
• and
• with a user interface in communication with said body fluid analyzer, receiving user input corresponding to a patient health event.

An analyte detection system comprising:

• a body fluid analyzer for determining the level of an analyte of interest in a body fluid;
• and
• a user interface in communication with said body fluid analyzer, said user interface comprising a visual display, said visual display comprising a trend display portion which depicts a trend in determined levels of said analyte of interest;
• said user interface further comprising an input element configured to accept user input corresponding to one or more patient health events;
• said trend display portion further depicting one or more event markers corresponding to said one or more patient health events which have been input via said input element.
