1. A method for delivering insulin to a patient using an insulin pump having one or more processors, the insulin pump being configured to operate in a pause mode, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at the insulin pump, an amount of insulin to deliver to a patient from a remote device;

    beginning, at the insulin pump, delivery of the insulin to the patient;

    monitoring, at the insulin pump, the delivery of the insulin to determine whether the insulin pump is able to deliver the entire amount of insulin;

    maintaining, at the insulin pump, a timer until the insulin pump recommences the delivery of the insulin when the insulin pump is unable to deliver the entire amount of insulin,when the insulin pump recommences the delivery of the insulin, comparing an amount of time indicated by the timer to a pause threshold;

    when the amount of time indicated by the timer is less than the pause threshold, generating a first insulin delivery record indicating that a first amount of insulin was delivered to the patient, the first amount being the entire amount of insulin, and storing the first record on a computer readable medium of the insulin pump; and

    when the amount of time indicated by the timer is greater than the pause threshold, generating a second insulin record indicating that a second amount of insulin was delivered to the patient and storing the second record on the computer readable medium, the second amount being less than the entire amount of insulin that was to be delivered to the patient.
