A method for determining the average usage of an analyte monitoring system may include the step of calculating one or more analyte measurements of a host during a first period of time. The method may include the step of calculating a duration of time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system during the first period of time. The method may include the step of calculating an average time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system during a second period of time or a percentage of the first period of time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system, in which the average time or the percentage is calculated based on at least the calculated duration. The method may include the step of generating and displaying a report indicating the average time or the percentage.
