Abstract

A diabetes management system including a pump for dispensing a medicant and a control device for controlling the pump includes a user interface for controlling functions of the pump and providing information related to operation of the pump and other information. The user interface can display blood glucose information and insulin dosing data such that a user can appropriately act on the information and/or gain confidence that the diabetes management system is operating appropriately to manage the disease. User interfaces provided herein can include displays of current and projected glucose values, bolus calculators, charts displaying glucose levels and/or insulin delivery data, system maintenance reminders, system status information, patient configuration input screens, and log-in screens. Diabetes management systems can include insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, blood glucose monitors, mobile computing devices, servers, and/or other insulin delivery devices (e.g., insulin pens).
