Systems, devices, and methods for meal information collection, meal assessment, and analyte data correlation

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for detecting, measuring and classifying meals for an individual based on analyte measurements. These results and related information can be presented to the individual to show the individual which meals are causing the most severe analyte response. These results can be organized and categorized based on preselected criteria or previous meals and results so as to organize and present the results in a format with reference to glucose as the monitored analyte. Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods, systems, and software applications intended to engage an individual by providing direct and timely feedback regarding the individual's meal-related glycemic response.
