Abstract
An insulin infusion device and a related operating method are disclosed. The method obtains a blood glucose (BG) measurement of a blood sample from a user, displays the BG measurement on a display element of the infusion device, and receives a confirmation input that indicates user acceptance of the displayed BG measurement. In response to the confirmation input, a glucose sensor calibration routine is automatically initiated, and an insulin bolus calculation is automatically initiated. The calibration routine and the bolus calculation use the confirmed BG measurement. The method continues by controlling delivery of insulin, in accordance with the calculated insulin bolus, from a fluid reservoir of the insulin infusion device. The sensor calibration routine and the insulin bolus calculation are both performed without any additional user involvement or interaction with the user interface other than the user acceptance of the displayed BG measurement.
