Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for operating a glucose monitoring system in response to the determination of an occurrence of a carbohydrate intake event, the glucose monitoring system having a data processing device provided with one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving, by the data processing device, insulin bolus administration data indicating an insulin bolus of an insulin bolus administration at a bolus administration time;
conducting a glucose level measurement using a glucose measurement system to obtain a glucose monitoring value of a person;
the glucose monitoring value indicating a glucose level sampled from the person in a bodily fluid, the glucose level being sampled at a time up to 30 minutes before or after the bolus administration time;
providing the glucose monitoring value to the data processing device ;
receiving the glucose monitoring value by the data processing device;
determining by the data processing device a corrective insulin bolus suitable for compensating for an elevated glucose level;
determining, by the data processing device, from an analysis of the glucose monitoring value, the occurrence of a carbohydrate intake event occurring within a time window of up to +/−30 minutes of the bolus administration time, wherein the occurrence of a carbohydrate intake event is determined if one of the following is detected:
the glucose monitoring value indicates a glucose level below a first threshold glucose level; or
the glucose monitoring value indicates an elevated glucose level above a second threshold glucose level, and further, the insulin bolus indicated by the insulin bolus administration data is exceeding the corrective insulin bolus suitable for compensating for the elevated glucose level; and

generating, by the data processing device, carbohydrate intake event data indicating the occurrence of the carbohydrate intake event: and
controlling insulin administration by an ambulatory insulin pump based on the corrective insulin bolus and/or based on the determining of a carbohydrate event.
