Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a memory operable to store programming code;
a communication device operable to communicate with a glucose sensor;
a processor coupled to the memory and communication circuitry, wherein the processor is operable to execute the programming code stored in the memory, and further operable to:
receive glucose concentration values from the glucose sensor;
detect a decrease in the received glucose concentration values;
attenuate medication delivery in response to the detected decrease in the received glucose concentration values;
determine that an external disturbance is causing the decrease in the received glucose concentration values;
determine that the attenuated medication delivery is not being attenuated fast enough to maintain glucose concentration values above a hypoglycemic threshold; and
in response to the determination that the attenuated medication delivery is not being attenuated fast enough, implement a response that further reduces medication delivery.
