Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for providing a forgotten bolus warning for an insulin pump user. User selections for mealtimes are received and stored. A user selection for a warning wait period is received and stored. When a time past a mealtime plus the user selection for the warning wait period is identified, checking for a bolus having been taken is performed. Responsive to no bolus having been taken, the user is alerted with the forgotten bolus warning. The user is alerted with the forgotten bolus warning by an audible, visual, or tactile warning for a programmable period of time. The user selections for mealtimes are received and stored on a daily basis for each day of the week. The user selection for a warning wait period can be received and stored independently for each meal.
