A new device generating alerts for Hypo and Hyperglycemia Prevention from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is devised. It exploits a new definition of clinical risk, the “Dynamic Risk” (DR), based on both information of glucose level and trend obtainable, through suitable algorithms, from a CGM signals. In particular, the new device has a display whose color depends on the DR (red for high DR, green for low risk). When DR exceeds a certain threshold, alerts are generated (by e.g.blinking of the device display, ringing sounds and vibrations) in order to suggest the patient to pay attention to the current glucose reading and to its trend, both shown on the display in numbers and symbols (e.g. arrow with different slope).

Abstract
A new device generating alerts for Hypo and Hyperglycemia Prevention from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is devised. It exploits a new definition of clinical risk, the “Dynamic Risk” (DR), based on both information of glucose level and trend obtainable, through suitable algorithms, from a CGM signals. In particular, the new device has a display whose color depends on the DR (red for high DR, green for low risk). When DR exceeds a certain threshold, alerts are generated (by e.g.blinking of the device display, ringing sounds and vibrations) in order to suggest the patient to pay attention to the current glucose reading and to its trend, both shown on the display in numbers and symbols (e.g. arrow with different slope).
