1 - 19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . A method of providing a notification based on trend data of analyte levels monitored over a period of time, comprising:
 receiving a first analyte data set based on measured analyte levels of a patient for a first time period;   determining a first trend value for the first analyte data set;   receiving a second analyte data set based on measured analyte levels of the patient for a second time period;   determining a second trend value for the second analyte data set;   comparing the first and second trend values; and   outputting a notification to the patient if the second trend value is below the first trend value.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the first and the second analyte data sets are a first glucose data set and a second glucose data set, respectively. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the first and second glucose data sets are each based on signals from a glucose sensor in fluid contact with interstitial fluid of the patient. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the first and second trend values are first and second running average glucose levels, respectively. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the first and second trend values are first and second standard deviations, respectively. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the notification relates to the first and second trend values. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the notification encourages the patient based on the comparison of the first and second trend values. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the first time period is different from the second time period. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the first time period is shorter than the second time period. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the first time period is seven days. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the second time period is  30  days.
