6. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the bolus calculator is deactivated for a predetermined period of time following administration of a medication dose.
7. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the recommended medication dose is determined based at least in part on the measured glucose level and insulin on board information.
8. 8 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a health monitor device comprising the one or more processors and the memory.
9. 9 . A health monitor device, comprising: one or more processors; a memory storing a bolus calculator in communication with the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to: receive glucose levels measured by a glucose sensor configured to measure the glucose levels in interstitial fluid of a user; calculate a recommended medication dose when the bolus calculator is activated, output the recommended medication dose when the bolus calculator is activated, and deactivate the bolus calculator when the measured glucose level is below a threshold level, wherein when the measured glucose level is above the threshold level and a medication dose has been administered within a predetermined period of time, the bolus calculator is enabled to calculate a meal bolus and is not enabled to calculate a correction bolus.
10. 10 . The health monitor device of claim 9 , wherein the bolus calculator is deactivated for a predetermined period of time when the glucose level is below the threshold level.
11. 11 . The health monitor device of claim 9 , wherein the bolus calculator is deactivated until the glucose level returns above the threshold level.
12. 12 . The health monitor device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to provide an alert when the bolus calculator is deactivated.
13. 13 . The health monitor device of claim 9 , wherein the recommended medication dose is determined based at least in part on the measured glucose level and insulin on board information.
14. 14 . The health monitor device of claim 9 , further comprising a medication delivery device configured to administer the recommended medication dose.
15. 15 . A health monitor device, comprising: one or more processors; and a memory storing a bolus calculator in communication with the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to: receive glucose levels measured by a glucose sensor configured to measure glucose levels in interstitial fluid of a user, calculate a recommended medication dose when activated, wherein the recommended dose comprises one or more of a meal bolus or a correction bolus, and wherein the recommended dose is calculated based in part on insulin on board; output the recommended medication dose when the bolus calculator is activated, and partially deactivate the bolus calculator for a predetermined period of time following an administered medication dose such that the bolus calculator is enabled to calculate a meal bolus and is not enabled to calculate a correction bolus, wherein during the predetermined period of time the meal bolus is calculated without considering the insulin on board.
16. 16 . The health monitor device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to deactivate the bolus calculator when the measured glucose level is below a threshold level.
17. 17 . The health monitor device of claim 16 , wherein the health monitor device further comprises a user interface, and wherein an option to select the bolus calculator on the user interface is unselectable when the bolus calculator is deactivated.
18. 18 . The health monitor device of claim 16 , wherein the health monitor device further comprises a user interface, and wherein an option to select the bolus calculator on the user interface is not displayed when the bolus calculator is deactivated.

INTRODUCTION In diabetes management, there exist devices which allow diabetic patients to measure their blood glucose levels. One such device is a hand-held electronic meter, for example a blood glucose meter such as the FREESTYLE® and PRECISION® blood glucose monitoring system available from Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., of Alameda, California, which receives blood samples via enzyme-based test strips. Typically, the patient inserts the test strip into a test strip opening or port in the meter housing, lances a finger or alternate body site to obtain a blood sample, applies the drawn blood sample to the test strip, and the meter provides for an analysis or determination of the corresponding blood glucose value, which is displayed or otherwise provided to the patient to show the level of glucose at the time of testing. With the decreasing cost of electronic components and a corresponding increase in data processing capabilities of microprocessors, computational capability of electronic devices have been rapidly increasing. However, currently available glucose meters are generally configured with limited functionalities for use in connection with blood glucose testing and diabetes management. SUMMARY In view of the foregoing, in accordance with the various embodiments of the present disclosure, there are provided methods, devices and/or systems for providing a medication dosage calculation function into a health monitor device, such as a blood glucose meter, configured to perform data analysis and management based on, for example, the glucose level detected using the health monitor device. More specifically, in accordance with the various aspects of the present disclosure, provided are methods, systems and devices for detecting an analyte sample, determining an analyte concentration associated with the detected analyte sample, storing the determined analyte concentration and a time associated with the determined analyte concentration, retrieving two or more stored analyte concentrations, and determining an adjusted dose level based at least in part on a current dose level and data associated with the two or more retrieved analyte concentrations. It should be noted that two or more of the embodiments described herein, including those described above, may be combined to produce one or more additional embodiments which include the combined features of the individual embodiments.
