Abstract

This specification relates to systems, methods and apparatus for recognising patterns in blood glucose measurements. According to a first aspect, this specification discloses a computer implemented blood glucose analysis method comprising: receiving a plurality of blood glucose measurements relating to an individual taken over a plurality of temporal frames; identifying hypoglycaemic and/or hyperglycaemic blood glucose measurements in the plurality of blood glucose measurements; identifying a plurality of sub-intervals of the temporal frames in which there are a number of hypoglycaemic and/or hyperglycaemic blood glucose measurements that satisfies a threshold condition; inferring a temporal relationship between blood glucose measurements in a first sub-interval of the identified sub-intervals and blood glucose measurements in a second sub-interval of the identified sub-intervals; outputting the identified one or more sub-intervals of the temporal frames; and outputting a suggested causal driver for the inferred temporal relationship.
