1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
a display device;
an analyte sensor configured to perform measurements indicative of a level of at least one analyte of a user; and
a sensor electronics unit operatively coupled to the analyte sensor, wherein:
the sensor electronics unit is configured to:
receive, using near field communication (NFC) wireless protocol, an NFC transmission from the display device,
wherein in response to receiving the NFC transmission, begin a sensor initialization process for stabilizing the sensor;
cause the analyte sensor to start performing the measurements for generating data indicative of the measurements once the initialization process completes; wherein the data indicative of the measurements are used for generating alarms or displaying information associated with the measurements on the display device;
receive, from the analyte sensor, the measurements subsequent to causing the analyte sensor to start performing the measurements; and
initiate a periodic transmission of the data indicative of the measurements using Bluetooth wireless technology; and
wherein the sensor electronics unit is configured to delay the periodic transmission until the initialization process completes, wherein the initialization process is performed for a predetermined time following the NFC transmission; and
the display device is configured to:
send the NFC transmission to the sensor electronics unit using NFC; and
receive the periodic transmission of the data indicative of the measurements from
the sensor electronics unit using Bluetooth wireless technology.
