Zusammenfassung:A test device ( 10 ) for determining the analyte concentration in a current sample. A measuring unit ( 28 ) is included in the test device and is adapted to measure the reaction of a reagent and the analyte and to generate a signal indicative of the measured reaction. The test device ( 10 ) also includes a processor ( 32 ) that is electronically coupled to the measuring unit ( 28 ) and is adapted to determine the analyte concentration in the sample in response to receiving the signal indicative of the measured reaction from the measuring unit ( 28 ). Electronically coupled to the processor ( 32 ) is a memory ( 34 ), the memory ( 34 ) for storing the analyte concentration and including storage of a current sample and at least one past sample. The test device ( 10 ) further includes a user display ( 18 ) that is also electronically coupled to the processor ( 32 ), and a display automatically displaying the concentration of the current sample and at least one past sample in a graph.
