1. A method of estimating human insulin absorption for use in an insulin pump, the method comprising:
- prompting a user to select between a first insulin absorption model and a second insulin absorption model;
prompting a user to provide at least one model parameter; and
forming an applied insulin absorption model from the selected insulin absorption model and the at least one model parameter.

Abstract
Methods of estimating human insulin absorption for use in an insulin pump are disclosed. A method includes prompting a user to select between a first insulin absorption model and a second insulin absorption model. The method also includes prompting a user to provide at least one model parameter. The method further includes forming an applied insulin absorption model from the selected insulin absorption model and the at least one model parameter.

19. An insulin pump comprising:
-
a pump mechanism; a memory configured to store a first insulin absorption model, a second insulin absorption model, and at least one model parameter; a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory, the programmable circuit programmed to; prompt a user to select between the first insulin absorption model and the second insulin absorption model; prompt a user to provide the at least one model parameter; and form an applied insulin absorption model from the selected insulin absorption model and the at least one model parameter. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method of estimating human insulin absorption for use in an insulin pump, the method comprising:
-
prompting a user to select between a linear absorption model and a nonlinear insulin absorption model; prompting a user to provide a duration of the insulin absorption; prompting a user to provide a start time; prompting a user to provide a tail time; forming an applied insulin absorption model from the selected insulin absorption model, the duration, the start time, and the tail time; employing the applied insulin absorption model to calculate an insulin level of the user. - View Dependent Claims (30)
