`output to the display of the receiver unit, a first line graph that is
`a substantially continuous depiction of the processed sensor data
`over time,
`wherein the glucose monitoring system is configured to detect
`an adverse condition, wherein the adverse condition results in
`the receiver unit displaying a data gap such that the first line
`graph displayed on the receiver unit has an end corresponding to
`a time associated with a start of the adverse condition;
`wherein, during a time period corresponding to the adverse
`condition, sensor data, processed sensor data, or both, are stored
`in the memory of the data processing and transmitter unit;
`wherein the receiver unit is configured to output to the display,
`after the adverse condition is corrected, processed sensor data
`for the time period corresponding to the adverse condition such
`that the data gap is backfilled, and
`wherein the processed sensor data for the time period
`corresponding to the adverse condition that is outputted to the
`display after the adverse condition is corrected comprises a
`second line graph having a first end corresponding to the time
`associated with the start of the adverse condition and a second
`end corresponding to a time associated with an end of the
`adverse condition.
`The glucose monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the first line
`graph and the second line graph are outputted to a same graph
`comprising a first axis having a time unit of measurement and a
`second axis having a glucose concentration unit of measurement.
