1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising:
- a portable pump housing that receives insulin for dispensation to a user, the pump housing at least partially containing a pump drive system to dispense the insulin through a flow path to the user;
a controller that communicates with the pump drive system to dispense the insulin from the portable pump housing, wherein the controller comprises a controller housing that removably attaches to the pump housing, the controller being electrically connected to the pump drive system when the controller housing is removably attached to the pump housing; and
a monitoring device that communicates glucose information to the controller, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user,wherein the controller outputs an alarm when the glucose information indicates that the blood glucose level reaches beyond a glucose alarm limit parameter, the glucose alarm limit parameter being adjustable by the controller in response to an insulin load of the user.

Abstract
Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to modify alarm limit parameters as the user'"'"'s insulin load increases or decreases. Moreover, in particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be configured to provide a “missed bolus” or “missed meal” alarm in response to the user'"'"'s blood glucose characteristics, the user'"'"'s insulin load information, or the like.
