1. A glucose management device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a user interface controlled by the processor, the user interface comprising a user input mechanism configured for tactile contact and movement by a user for entering values of one or more parameters for controlling the glucose management device;
wherein the user input mechanism is configured to provide a haptic feedback response to the user as the entered value of a selected parameter approaches a predefined limit.

29. A method for managing the level of an analyte of a patient, comprising:
-
providing an apparatus for managing the level of an analyte of a patient comprising a processor and a user interface controlled by the processor, the user interface comprising; a user input mechanism configured for tactile contact and movement by a user for entering values of one or more parameters for controlling the apparatus, wherein movement of the input mechanism changes the value of a selected parameter; and a display for displaying values of the one or more parameters for controlling the apparatus, wherein the display is configured to display digital values corresponding to the user-entered values of the selected parameter; displaying a digital value on the display corresponding to the current value of the selected parameter; moving the user interface input mechanism in a first direction toward a target value of the selected parameter; computing the proximity of the entered selected parameter value to a predefined limit of the selected parameter; and increasing the stiffness of the input mechanism and changing the displayed value of the selected parameter if the entered selected parameter value is within the predefined limit. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
