1. A method comprising:
- presenting a series of questions to a patient on a user interface of a user-wearable infusion pump, the questions relating to information inherently known by the patient;
receiving patient information about the patient in response to the questions through the user interface of the infusion pump;
applying a rule to the patient information with an electronic controller of the user-wearable infusion pump, wherein the rule comprises a decision tree, look-up table or formula; and
generating a suggested device-determined pump setting according to the rule with the controller, the device-determined pump setting adapted to be stored in memory for use in determining future infusion pump therapy.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a controller. The controller includes an input/output (I/O) module and a rule module. The I/O module is configured to present a question for a patient when communicatively coupled to a user interface and receive patient information in response to the question via the user interface. The rule module is configured to apply a rule to the patient information and generate a suggested insulin pump setting from application of the rule. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.
