A device for training a user in recognition of the user's bodily fluid
analyte concentration and concentration trends (such as the user's whole
blood glucose concentration and concentration trends) includes an analyte
monitoring module, a control module and a sensation generation module.
The analyte monitoring module is configured to monitor the user's bodily
fluid analyte concentration and to output a monitor signal corresponding
to the user's bodily fluid analyte concentration. The control module is
configured to receive the monitor signal, convert the monitor signal into
a sensation instruction signal corresponding to the user' bodily fluid
analyte concentration, and output the sensation instruction signal. The
sensation generation module configured to receive the sensation
instruction signal and to generate a user-perceived sensation (e.g., a
user-perceived vibratory sensation) corresponding to the user's bodily
fluid analyte concentration. Moreover, the user-perceived sensation is
proportional to the user's bodily fluid analyte concentration in a
predetermined manner and is generated at predetermined time intervals.
