In iglu: Interpreting Glucose Data from Continuous Glucose Monitors

#' Calculate median glucose level
#'
#' @description The function median_glu is a wrapper for the base function
#' median(). Output is a tibble object with subject id and median values.
#'
#' @usage
#' median_glu(data)
#'
#' @param data DataFrame object with column names "id", "time", and "gl",
#' or numeric vector of glucose values.
#'
#' @details
#' A tibble object with 1 row for each subject, a column for subject id and
#' a column for the median values is returned. NA glucose values are
#' omitted from the  calculation of the median.
#'
#' @return If a data.frame object is passed, then a tibble object with
#' two columns: subject id and corresponding median value is returned. If a vector of glucose
#' values is passed, then a tibble object with just the median value is returned.
#' as.numeric() can be wrapped around the latter to output just a numeric value.
