Abstract
A physiological characteristic monitoring system includes a wearable attachment device, an electronic device, and a physiological characteristic sensor (e.g., a glucose sensor) including a portion that is insertable into subcutaneous tissue of a user to generate sensor signals indicating a physiological characteristic of the user. The electronic device includes a first connector configured to detachably couple to the physiological characteristic sensor to receive the sensor signals in a first configuration of the electronic device, a second connector configured to detachably couple to the wearable attachment device in a second configuration of the electronic device, a controller configured to determine the physiological characteristic of the user based on the sensor signals, and a display configured to display the physiological characteristic of the user.
