METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADJUSTING AN INSULIN DELIVERY PROFILE OF AN INSULIN PUMP
First Claim
1. An insulin pump for delivering insulin to a person having diabetes and configured to receive at least a local time zone time from an external local clock, the insulin pump comprising:
- an internal clock providing an operating time;
a delivery module for delivering the insulin to the person;
memory storing an insulin delivery profile comprising one or more delivery times;
a wireless communication module configured to wirelessly receive the local time zone time from the external local clock; and
a processor in electrical communication with the internal clock, the memory for reading the insulin delivery profile, the delivery module, and the wireless communication module, wherein the processor is configured to;
receive the local time zone time from the wireless communication module,make a request for the person to provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time,receive the time adjustment value from input provided by the person, andadjust the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the delivery times of an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump, wherein the insulin pump is operable to automatically deliver insulin to a person having diabetes based on an operating time of the internal clock and a delivery time of an insulin delivery profile. The method may comprise receiving a local time zone time from an external local clock, determining whether the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time, requesting the person provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time, receiving the time adjustment value from the person, and adjusting the delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received.

13. A blood glucose (bG) meter for use by a person and for communicating both with an insulin pump having an internal clock and with an external local clock which provides a local time zone time via a wireless communication link, the insulin pump being configured to deliver insulin according to an insulin delivery profile with one or more delivery times, the bG meter comprising:
-
an input device; a display; a wireless communication module; and a processor in electrical communication with the input device, the display, the wireless communication module, wherein the processor is configured to; receive an operating time of the internal clock of the insulin pump, receive the local time zone time from the external local clock via the wireless communication module or from the person via the input device, determine whether times of the local time zone time and the operating time of the internal clock of the insulin pump differ by at least a first predetermined amount of time, display a request on the display for a time adjustment value from the person representing an amount of time to adjust the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time, and receive the time adjustment value via the input device such that the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile is electronically adjusted based on the received time adjustment value. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for adjusting an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump by a person, comprising:
-
receiving via a wireless communication link by a processor of either an insulin pump or a blood glucose meter, a local time zone time from an external local clock; determining via the processor, whether the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time; requesting by the processor input from the person of a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time; receiving by the processor via an input device in electrical communication with the processor, the time adjustment value from the person; and adjusting via the processor, the one or more delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
