Claim 0:
1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising:
a glucose monitoring device; and
an infusion pump in wireless communication with the glucose monitoring device, the infusion pump comprising:
a disposable insulin delivery device comprising a portable pump housing that receives insulin for dispensation to a user, the pump housing at least partially containing a pump drive system to dispense the insulin through a flow path to the user, the pump drive system having a piston rod, a plunger, and a septum, the piston rod being adapted to advance the plunger to cause at least a portion of the insulin to advance through the septum when the flow path is established through the septum; and
a reusable controller being configured to reversibly connect with the disposable insulin delivery device, the reusable controller comprising a display device and one or more user-selectable buttons, the reusable controller being adapted to communicate with the pump drive system to dispense the insulin, the reusable controller being adapted to receive wireless communications from the glucose monitoring device and display a user's blood glucose level and an indication of whether the user's blood glucose level is rising or falling on the display device, wherein the reusable controller is adapted to shuffle through a number of screens on the display device in response to user interaction with the one or more user-selectable buttons, the reusable controller being adapted to process insulin delivery data, the reusable controller being configured to calculate a total insulin load of the user representing an estimated amount of bolus and basal insulin delivered to the user's body which has not yet acted, wherein the reusable controller is adapted to use the user's blood glucose level and the calculated total insulin load to calculate and display a suggested bolus dosage on the display device to the user;

wherein the system is adapted to process blood glucose information from the glucose monitoring device along with the insulin delivery data to determine if conditions indicate that the user skipped a bolus delivery for a meal the user consumed, wherein the system is configured to communicate information about detected missed boluses to the user.
