A method comprising positioning a distal end of a housing on a skin surface, applying a predetermined force on the housing to displace an analyte monitoring assembly operatively coupled to an introducer mechanism from a first position within the housing to a second position, wherein at least a portion of an analyte sensor of the analyte monitoring assembly is in contact with an analyte under the skin surface, and further, wherein a distal surface of the analyte monitoring assembly is positioned on the skin surface, and wherein the analyte sensor comprises a glucose sensor, providing a bias mechanism within a hollow space of the housing to automatically retract the introducer mechanism from the second position to the first position, automatically retracting the introducer mechanism from the second position to the first position to be entirely retained within the housing, and providing, using Bluetooth communication, one or more data associated with a monitored level of an analyte to a remote location only in response to a request for data from the remote location.
