External infusion device with programmable capabilities to time-shift basal insulin and method of using the same
First Claim
1. An external infusion device for delivering insulin from a reservoir into a body of a user, the external infusion device comprising:
- at least one drive mechanism operatively couplable to the reservoir to deliver insulin into the body of the user;
at least one processor to control the external infusion device;
at least one power supply;
at least one display device operatively coupled to the at least one processor to provide visual information to the user;
at least one input device operatively coupled to the at least one processor to allow the user to command the at least one processor; and
a housing;
wherein the external infusion device includes the capability to deliver time-shifted basal insulin.

Abstract
An external infusion device for delivering insulin from a reservoir into a body of a user includes the capability to deliver time-shifted basal insulin. The external infusion device includes at least one drive mechanism operatively couplable to the reservoir to deliver insulin into the body of the user, at least one processor to control the external infusion device, at least one power supply, at least one display device operatively coupled to the processor to provide visual information to the user, at least one input device operatively coupled to the processor to allow the user to command the processor, and a housing. Time-shifting of basal insulin occurs when a portion of basal insulin is added to a bolus, to a current basal rate, or to a bolus and a current basal rate.
