1. An apparatus comprising:
- a pump configured to deliver insulin;
an input; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the pump and the input, wherein the controller is configured to receive via the input information related to physical activity of a user of the apparatus, wherein the controller includes an insulin calculation module to automatically calculate, using the physical activity information, an amount of carbohydrates metabolized by the physical activity and to further automatically calculate a change in insulin therapy based on the calculated amount of carbohydrates, and wherein the controller is configured to initiate the delivery of insulin according to the change in insulin therapy.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a pump configured to deliver insulin; an input; a controller communicatively coupled to the pump and the input, wherein the controller is configured to receive via the input information related to physical activity of a user of the apparatus, wherein the controller includes an insulin calculation module to automatically calculate a change in insulin therapy according to the physical activity information, and wherein the controller is configured to initiate the delivery of insulin according to the change in insulin therapy; an activity sensor communicatively coupled to the input, to provide an activity sensor signal, wherein the activity sensor signal is an electrical signal representative of the patient physical activity; and a display, and wherein the controller includes; an activity module configured to; establish a baseline level of patient activity for a period of time; determine an actual level of patient activity during the period using the activity sensor signal; and
compare the actual level of patient activity to the baseline level; andthe insulin calculation module is configured to; calculate and display an amount of carbohydrates for the patient to consume when the actual level of patient activity exceeds the baseline level by a threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
