1. A method of operating a portable insulin infusion system, the method comprising:
- receiving manual user input at a user interface of the insulin infusion system indicative of a value for a first user-specific setting for a first parameter type, the first parameter type being a user'"'"'s insulin sensitivity or a user'"'"'s carbohydrate ratio;
retrieving a previously stored value for a second user-specific setting for a second parameter type, the second parameter type being a total daily basal dosage amount for the user;
determining, using the value for the second user-specific setting, a range for the first parameter type, wherein a first upper threshold for the range and a first lower threshold for the range is determined as a function of the total daily basal dosage amount for the user, the first upper threshold being different than the first lower threshold;
comparing the value for the first user-specific setting to the determined range for the first parameter type to determine that the value for the first user-specific setting is outside of the range for the first parameter type;
receiving data indicative of the user'"'"'s blood glucose level from a glucose monitoring device;
calculating a recommended bolus amount based at least in part on the first parameter type;
displaying the recommended bolus amount to the user on a user interface of the insulin infusion system; and
outputting an alert in response to determining that the value for the first user-specific setting is outside of the range for the first parameter type.

9. A method of operating a portable insulin infusion pump system, the method comprising:
-
dispensing insulin from a portable housing of an infusion pump system; and storing a total daily basal dosage amount for a user; calculating an insulin sensitivity range using the stored total daily basal dosage amount for the user, the insulin sensitivity range having a first upper threshold that is distinct from a first lower threshold of the insulin sensitivity range; determining that a stored insulin sensitivity value for the user is outside of the calculated insulin sensitivity range; and outputting an alert via a user interface of the system in response to determining that the stored insulin sensitivity value for the user is outside of the calculated insulin sensitivity range. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method of operating a portable infusion pump system comprising:
-
dispensing medicine from a portable housing of an infusion pump system; receiving user input at a user interface of the infusion pump system to initiate a first bolus dosage of the medicine; receiving, at the infusion pump system and after receiving the user input to initiate the first bolus dosage, blood glucose information indicative of a user'"'"'s blood glucose measurements over a period of time, the blood glucose information being obtained from a blood glucose meter device and/or a glucose monitoring device; determining a rate of change of the user'"'"'s blood glucose measurements over the period of time; identifying that an infusion set error of a second bolus dosage administered prior to receiving the user input to initiate the first bolus dosage has occurred based on determining that the rate of change of the user'"'"'s blood glucose measurements has not decreased over the predetermined period of time; and outputting an alert via the user interface of the infusion pump system in response to the infusion pump system identifying that the infusion set error has occurred based on determining that the rate of change of the user'"'"'s blood glucose measurements has not decreased over the predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
