Systems and methods are disclosed that employ several or many factors to determine a glycemic urgency index (GUI), which may be based on measured blood glucose levels as well as other factors. The other factors may include time derivatives of the blood glucose level, and/or other factors, such as user-entered data, data measured by other sensors or received from network sources, or historical data. The GUI is then presented to the user in an interesting manner, for example via a background color or other unobtrusive notifier, for example on a mobile device such as a smartphone. The GUI may also be employed to trigger actionable warnings and alarms on the user's electronic device. The GUI or another index calculated from the described combination of variables and parameters may further be employed to drive a drug delivery device such as a pump. |
