1. A computer-implemented method of infusing insulin via an infusion pump, comprising:

  • identifying, with an electronic controller, a type of drug therapy for treatment of diabetes likely to cause an insulin delivery protocol associated with ingestion of carbohydrates to lead to a postprandial drop in blood glucose to a level below a basal level that is likely to deprive a patient of sufficient blood glucose to function normally, wherein the type of drug therapy is identified prior to delivery of the insulin delivery protocol; and

    proposing, on a user interface, at least one alternative insulin delivery protocol to inhibit the postprandial drop in blood glucose level by delivering a metered amount of insulin that is appropriate to facilitate metabolism of the carbohydrates without the postprandial blood glucose level drop; and

    causing an infusion pump to deliver insulin according to the alternative insulin delivery protocol.
