Sensing systems and methods for providing diabetes decision support using continuously monitored analyte data

An analyte monitoring system, comprising:

• at least one analyte sensor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising executable instructions;
• at least one processor in data communication with the at least one memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
• obtain analyte data resulting from continuous monitoring of a plurality of analytes of a patient by the at least one analyte sensor utilizing a first sampling rate during a first time period, the plurality of analytes comprising at least lactate and glucose;
• process lactate data from the first time period to determine a rate of change value for the lactate data;
• in response to determining that the rate of change value for the lactate data exceeds a predetermined threshold:
• change the sampling rate of the at least one analyte sensor from the first sampling rate to a second sampling rate;
• and
• obtain additional analyte data resulting from the continuous monitoring of the plurality of analytes of the patient by the at least one analyte sensor utilizing the second sampling rate during a second time period.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining analyte data resulting from continuous monitoring of a plurality of analytes of a patient by at least one analyte sensor utilizing a first sampling rate during a first time period, the plurality of analytes comprising at least lactate and glucose;
• processing lactate data from the time period to determine a rate of change value for the lactate data;
• in response to determining that the rate of change value for the lactate data exceeds a predetermined threshold:
• changing the sampling rate of one or more of the at least one analyte sensor from the first sampling rate to a second sampling rate;
• and
• obtaining additional analyte data resulting from the continuous monitoring of the plurality of analytes of the patient by the at least one analyte sensor utilizing the second sampling rate during a second time period.
