Insulin Pump Having Expected Bolus Interval and an Early Bolus Interval
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A insulin pump comprising:
- a timer;
an alerting mechanism;
an expected bolus interval; and
an early bolus interval, an ending time of the early bolus interval being the same time as a starting time of the expected bolus interval;
wherein the insulin pump is configured to detect a bolus taken during the early bolus interval, and use the determination of the bolus taken during the early bolus interval in determination of whether to activate the alerting mechanism if no bolus is taken during the expected bolus interval.

Abstract
An insulin pump having an expected bolus interval and an early bolus interval. The early bolus interval immediately precedes the expected bolus interval. The insulin pump alerts the user if no bolus is taken during an expected bolus interval unless a bolus was taken during the early bolus interval. The insulin pump queries the user if the bolus taken during the early bolus interval is to be interpreted as satisfying the expected bolus interval; if so, no alert is given if no bolus is then taken during the expected bolus interval; if not, an alert is given if no bolus is taken during the expected bolus interval.

11. A method executed in an insulin pump having a missed meal bolus alert to reduce likelihood of a user taking an unwanted second bolus comprising the steps of:
-
establishing an expected bolus interval during which a bolus is expected to be taken by the user; establishing an early bolus interval immediately preceding the expected bolus interval; and if a bolus was not taken during the expected bolus interval, but a bolus was taken during the early bolus interval, alerting the user that no bolus was taken during the expected bolus interval but a bolus was taken during the early bolus interval. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method executed in an insulin pump having a missed meal bolus alert to reduce likelihood of a user taking an unwanted second bolus comprising the steps of:
-
establishing an expected bolus interval during which a bolus is expected to be taken by the user; establishing an early bolus interval immediately preceding the expected bolus interval; and if a bolus is taken during the early bolus interval, asking the user if the bolus taken during the early bolus interval satisfies an expected bolus interval associated with the early bolus interval; if the user responds affirmatively, not activating an alert if the user does not take a bolus during the associated expected bolus interval; and if the user responds negatively, activating the alert if the user does not take a bolus during the associated expected bolus interval. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
