1. An insulin infusion pump system, comprising:
- a portable housing defining a space to receive a supply of insulin;
a pump drive system to dispense insulin from the portable housing when the insulin is received in the space;
control circuitry that electrically communicates with the pump drive system to control dispensation of the insulin from the portable housing when the insulin is received in the space; and
a user interface connected to the control circuitry and configured to receive user input of a value for a first user-specific setting, the first user-specific setting selected from the group consisting of;
a user'"'"'s insulin sensitivity, a user'"'"'s carbohydrate ratio, and a user'"'"'s scheduled basal dosage amount, wherein the control circuitry is configured to output an alert via the user interface in response to user input of the value for the first user-specific setting that is outside of a predetermined range dependent at least partially upon a previously stored value for a second user-specific setting that is stored previously to the user input of the value for the first user-specific setting and different from the first user-specific setting, the second user-specific setting selected from the group consisting of;
a user'"'"'s insulin sensitivity, a user'"'"'s carbohydrate ratio, and a user'"'"'s scheduled basal dosage amount.
