1. An insulin pump comprising:

  • a pump mechanism;

    a memory configured to store a target blood glucose level;

    a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory, the programmable circuit programmed to;

    receive a current blood glucose level;

    compare the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level; and

    upon detection of a current blood glucose level lower than the target blood glucose level, calculate, based on a difference between the current blood glucose level and the target blood glucose level, a carbohydrate value required to raise the current blood glucose level to the target blood glucose level.
