1. A method of administering insulin to a user, comprising:
- delivering insulin from a portable infusion pump system to the user according to a medicine dispensing schedule, wherein the portable infusion pump system is worn by the user;
detecting an activity level of the user using an activity sensor that is in communication with control circuitry of the portable infusion pump system and is worn by the user, wherein the activity sensor comprises at least an accelerometer;
querying the user on a user interface of the portable infusion pump system to confirm whether the detected activity level of the user represents an actual activity level of the user; and
altering the delivery of insulin from the portable infusion pump system as a result of the user confirming via the user interface that the detected activity level represents the actual activity level of the user.

Abstract
Some embodiments of a wearable infusion pump system can include a pump device having a drive system to dispense a medicine to a user, an activity sensor that detects a possible change in an activity level of the user, and a controller to activate the drive system to dispense the medicine to the user. The controller device can query the user to indicate whether a detected activity level of the user represents an actual change in the activity level of the user. The controller device can alter the medicine dispensing schedule based on the user indicated changes in activity level.
