1. A portable infusion device configured for generating an estimate of an amount of a fluid to be delivered to a body of a user, the device comprising:
- a. a processor, coupled to a memory and configured for receiving user input data from the memory and using the input data for generating an estimate of an amount of fluid to be delivered to the body;
b. a memory for receiving and storing user input data coupled to the processor and configured for communicating that data to the processor; and
c. a touch sensitive screen configured for displaying at least one request for user input, where said display is further configured for receiving user input in response to the request and communicating the input to the memory.

18. A method for delivering an amount of a fluid to a body of a user, the method comprising:
-
a. providing a portable infusion device, the portable infusion comprising; 1) a reservoir, for storing the fluid; 2) a delivery mechanism, for delivering the fluid; 3) a processor, for generating an estimate of an amount of fluid to be delivered to the body in response to user input data, and for controlling the delivery mechanism; 4) a data input interface for communicating with the processor, wherein the data input interface is configured for receiving user input data; and 5) a display for displaying the estimate of an amount of a fluid to be delivered; b. inputting externally supplied values into the data input interface, wherein; 1) the data input interface receives the user input data and communicates that data to the processor; 2) the processor receives the user input data; 3) generates an estimate of an amount of a fluid to be delivered to the body of the user; and 4) communicates the estimate to the display; c. receiving the generated estimate of an amount of fluid to be delivered on the display of the portable infusion device; d. receiving a request for a user input on the display of the portable infusion device, wherein the request requires the user to make a selection before delivering the amount of fluid to the body of the user; e. making a selection based on the estimate;
wherein, once the selection is made the portable infusion device delivers the quantity of fluid to the body in response to the selection. - View Dependent Claims (19)
