1. A medical system comprising:
- a glucose monitoring device;
an insulin pump; and
a data management system in communication with the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump, the data management system having a memory including programming of an access level hierarchy that enables a plurality of individuals to have different access level rights to enter, modify and lock parameters of the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump, the access level hierarchy including at least a first, a second, and a third access level;
wherein first access level rights enable a healthcare professional having first access level rights to set, modify and lock prescriptive parameters and non-prescriptive parameters of the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump;
wherein second access level rights enable a caregiver having second access level rights to set, modify and lock the non-prescriptive parameters of the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump that have not been locked by the healthcare professional;
wherein the second access level rights preclude the caregiver from setting, modifying and locking the prescriptive parameters of the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump;
wherein third access level rights enable a user having third access level rights to set, modify and lock the non-prescriptive parameters of the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump that have not been locked by the healthcare professional or the caregiver; and
wherein the third access level rights preclude the user from setting, modifying and locking the prescriptive parameters of the glucose monitoring device and the insulin pump.

2. A medical system comprising:
-
a medical device for monitoring an analyte; a medical device for infusing an agent into a user; wherein the medical devices each include a memory with programming of an access level hierarchy that enables a plurality of individuals, including the user, to have different access level rights to set and modify parameters of the medical devices, the access level hierarchy including at least a first, a second, and a third access level, wherein first access level rights enable a healthcare professional having first access level rights to set, modify and lock prescriptive parameters and non-prescriptive parameters of the medical devices, wherein second access level rights enable a caregiver having second access level rights to set, modify and lock the non-prescriptive parameters of the medical devices that have not been locked by the healthcare professional, wherein the second access level rights preclude the caregiver from setting, modifying and locking the prescriptive parameters of the medical devices, wherein third access level rights enable the user having third access level rights to set, modify and lock the non-prescriptive parameters of the medical devices that have not been locked by the healthcare professional or the caregiver, and wherein the third access level rights preclude the user from setting, modifying and locking the prescriptive parameters of the medical devices; and a data communication unit directly operable by each of the plurality of individuals. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 23)

19. A method of controlling access to a medical system comprising at least one medical device and a data communication unit operable by each of a plurality of individuals including a healthcare professional, a caregiver and a user, the method comprising:
configuring the at least one medical device with an access level hierarchy that enables the plurality of individuals to have different access level rights to set and modify parameters of the at least one medical device, the access level hierarchy including at least a first, a second, and a third access level, wherein first access level rights enable the healthcare professional having first access level rights to set, modify and lock prescriptive parameters and non-prescriptive parameters of the at least one medical device, wherein second access level rights enable the caregiver having second access level rights to set, modify and lock non-prescriptive parameters of the at least one medical device that have not been locked by the healthcare professional, wherein the second access level rights preclude the caregiver from setting, modifying and locking prescriptive parameters of the at least one medical device, wherein third access level rights enable a user having third access level rights to set, modify and lock the non-prescriptive parameters of the at least one medical device that have not been locked by the healthcare professional or the caregiver, and wherein the third access level rights preclude the user from setting, modifying and locking the prescriptive parameters of the at least one medical device.
