1. A method of operating an insulin infusion pump system, comprising:

  • controlling dispensation of insulin from a portable pump housing using control circuitry that electrically communicates with a pump drive system in the portable pump housing to selectively output the insulin according to a programmed dosage schedule; and

    responding to an impact to the portable pump housing using a drop detector that is at least partially housed in the portable pump housing and that is in electrical communication with the control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is in electrical communication with the drop detector so that the control circuitry initiates an alarm when the drop detector indicates that the impact to the portable housing is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold level.
