1. A method of automatically initializing an analyte sensor for a user, the method comprising the steps of:
operating a first analyte sensor in a first measurement mode to generate first sensor signals indicative of an analyte level of the user;
deploying a second analyte sensor to measure the analyte level of the user;
operating the second analyte sensor in an initialization mode, concurrently with operation of the first analyte sensor in the first measurement mode, to receive sensor configuration data generated by the first analyte sensor;
determining, by the second analyte sensor, whether the received sensor configuration data is suitable for calibrating the second analyte sensor; and
responsive to determining that the received sensor configuration data is unsuitable for calibrating the second analyte sensor, causing generation of a message prompting the user to obtain an analyte sample.
