1. An insulin delivery system, comprising:
- at least a first disposable insulin delivery device and at least a second disposable insulin delivery device, wherein each of the first and second disposable insulin delivery devices each comprise;
a fluid cartridge comprising a plunger at a first end of the fluid cartridge, a septum at the second end of the fluid cartridge, and insulin medication,a housing that defines a space to receive the fluid cartridge, anda drive system configured to dispense the insulin medicine from the insulin delivery device,wherein the first disposable insulin delivery device is of a different type than the second disposable insulin delivery device, wherein the insulin medication in the first disposable insulin delivery device is different from the insulin medication in the second disposable insulin delivery device;
a body-worn glucose monitoring device; and
a controller device removably attachable to each of the first and second insulin delivery devices, the controller device being adapted to determine the type of a disposable insulin delivery device secured to the controller device, the controller device comprising a user interface display, wherein the controller device is configured to automatically enable wireless communication with the body-worn glucose monitoring device in response to the controller device being connected to the first disposable insulin delivery device and to disable wireless communication with the body-worn glucose monitoring device in response to the controller being connected to the second disposable insulin delivery device, wherein the controller device is configured to display a user'"'"'s glucose level when data from the body-worn glucose monitoring device is wirelessly received by the controller device when wireless communication with the body-worn glucose monitoring device is enabled, wherein the controller device is enabled to provide customized insulin delivery options for each of the first and second disposable insulin delivery devices tailored to the pharmakinetic characteristics of the insulin medication in each disposable insulin delivery device, wherein the controller device is configured to notify the user of the type of medication in the disposable insulin delivery device reversibly attached to the controller device when the controller device is reversibly attached to the disposable insulin delivery device.

Abstract
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can include a controller in which one or more features sets to be provided by the controller are enabled or disabled based upon the particular pump device that is connected to the controller. For example, in some embodiments, one or more advanced features of the controller are available to the user only when a first type of pump device (e.g., having predefined settings stored therein) is connected to the controller, and those advanced features of the controller are disabled when a second type of pump device is connected to the controller.
