Abstract
A computer-implemented method of operating a diabetes treatment system that includes an insulin pump and a pump controlling device is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the device, a request for the pump to perform an operation that is dependent on a specified state of the pump. The method also includes requesting, by the device, a current state of the pump from the pump. Moreover, the method includes receiving, by the device, the current state of the pump. Also, the method includes determining, by the device, whether the current state of the pump matches to the specified state of the pump. Additionally, the method includes sending, by the device to the pump, a command to perform the operation in response to a determination that the current state of the pump matches the specified state of the pump.
