1. A method of filling a reservoir with a liquid therapeutic, the method comprising:
- providing a fill station havinga substantially rigid fill-station base for holding the reservoir at a tilt, anda substantially rigid fill-station cover attached to the fill-station base, the fill-station cover having a filling aperture for receiving fluid from a syringe, the fill-station cover and the fill-station base defining a volume so as to prevent over-filling of the reservoir;
placing a reservoir in the fill station and closing the fill-station cover over the reservoir;
applying a syringe containing the liquid therapeutic to the filling aperture; and
ejecting the liquid therapeutic from the syringe through the filling aperture into the reservoir.

Abstract
Fill stations and base stations are provided for personal pump systems. The fill stations may be opened and closed to accept a reservoir and to allow fluid to be introduced into the reservoir for use with personal pump systems. The fill stations may hold the reservoir at a tilt relative to an underlying surface and may discourage overfilling of the reservoir. The filling stations may also include viewing windows having fluid lines marked thereon for indicating volume of fluid within the reservoir.
