A method for continuous monitoring of the concentration of an analyte by determining its change over time in the living body of a human or animal, in which at sequential points in time, measurement values of a measurement variable correlating with the desired concentration are measured as the measurement signal (z t) and the change over time of the concentration is determined from the measurement signal as the useful signal (y t) using a calibration, the determination of the useful signal (y t) from the measurement signal (z t) including a filter algorithm in the time domain, by which errors of the useful signal, which result from noise contained in the measurement signal, are reduced, and the filter algorithm including an operation in which the influence of an actual measurement value on the useful signal is weighted using a weighting factor (V). During the continuous monitoring, a signal variation parameter (.sigma.t) is determined on the basis of signal variations detected in close chronological relationship with the measurement of the actual measurement value. The weighting factor is dynamically adapted as a function of the signal variation parameter determined for the point in time of the actual measurement.
