1. A system for administering a medical fluid to a body and for monitoring a substance level in a bodily fluid, the system comprising:
- an administration device comprising a reservoir adapted to contain the medical fluid, a motor and drive mechanism for displacing the medical fluid from the reservoir into the body, and a first communication interface; and
a communication terminal remote from the administration device and comprising a housing, a processor, an input device in communication with the processor, a display in communication with the processor, a second communication interface in communication with the processor and configured to communicate with the first communication interface, a measuring device in communication with the processor and comprising a sensor configured to sense the substance level in the bodily fluid, and a memory;
wherein the processor is operatively associated with the memo and adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to receive communications from the administration device relating to medical fluid amounts delivered from the administration device, and to store in the memory historical medical fluid administration data and substance level measurement values over time based on the communications received from the administration device.

9. A method for administering a medical fluid to a body based on a monitored substance level in a bodily fluid, the method comprising:
-
placing the bodily fluid in contact with a sensor on a measuring device disposed in a communication terminal; sensing the substance level in the bodily fluid using the sensor of the measuring device; communicating the substance level to a processor in the communication terminal; determining a medical fluid dosage to be administered to the body by an administration device remote from the communication terminal, the medical fluid dosage determined on the basis of the communicated substance level; wirelessly communicating a dosage command from the communication terminal to the administration device; administering the medical fluid to the body via the administration device according to the dosage command received from the communication terminal; wirelessly communicating information relating to amounts of the medical fluid delivered from the administration device, from the administration device to the communication terminal; and storing in a memory the historical medical fluid administration data and the substance level measurement values over time, wherein the memory is part of the communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for administering a medical fluid to a body and for monitoring a substance level in a bodily fluid, the system comprising:
-
a computer including a processor, a memory, software, a communication port, and a first communication interface, wherein the memory is configured to store data pertaining to a history of administration of the medical fluid, and wherein the software is configured to provide a graphic of medical fluid administration data as a function of time; a measuring device separate and distinct from the computer and including a sensor configured to sense the substance level in the bodily fluid and a transducer adapted to communicate with the communication port, wherein the communication port and the transducer physically mate with each other to be placed in communication with each other; and an administration device remote from the computer and including a reservoir adapted to contain the medical fluid, a motor and drive mechanism for displacing the medical fluid from the reservoir into the body, and a second communication interface for communicating with the first communication interface; wherein the processor is configured to determine a medical fluid dosage to be delivered on the basis of the measured substance level in the bodily fluid; and wherein the first communication interface is configured to wirelessly communicate the dosage to be delivered to the second communication interface of the administration device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
