A therapeutic fluid dispensing device to deliver therapeutic fluid into the body of a patient, the device comprising: a controller to determine a bolus delivery pattern based on a specific dietary intake of the patient; and an infusion pump to deliver the therapeutic fluid into the body of the patient based, at least in part, on the determined bolus delivery pattern, wherein the controller is configured to select the bolus delivery pattern from a plurality of bolus delivery patterns, characterized in that: the device further comprises a blood glucose sensor to measure the blood glucose level of the patient, with the blood glucose sensor including a continuous glucose monitor; at least one of the bolus delivery patterns is determined based on corresponding blood glucose responses of one or more non-diabetic individuals that have consumed dietary intakes similar to the specific dietary intake of the patient; and the controller is further configured: to determine the bolus delivery patterns based additionally on blood glucose responses of the patient after the patient has consumed dietary intakes similar to the specific dietary intakes, the blood glucose responses of the patient being measured by the continuous glucose monitor; to compute a difference between an area under the curve of a graphical representation of the response of the patient to a respective type of dietary intake and an area under the curve of a graphical representation of the response of the one or more non- diabetic individuals to the respective type of dietary intake; and to determine a tailored bolus dose distribution over time from the difference computed. the device further comprises a blood glucose sensor to measure the blood glucose level of the patient, with the blood glucose sensor including a continuous glucose monitor; at least one of the bolus delivery patterns is determined based on corresponding blood glucose responses of one or more non-diabetic individuals that have consumed dietary intakes similar to the specific dietary intake of the patient; and the controller is further configured: to determine the bolus delivery patterns based additionally on blood glucose responses of the patient after the patient has consumed dietary intakes similar to the specific dietary intakes, the blood glucose responses of the patient being measured by the continuous glucose monitor; to compute a difference between an area under the curve of a graphical representation of the response of the patient to a respective type of dietary intake and an area under the curve of a graphical representation of the response of the one or more non- diabetic individuals to the respective type of dietary intake; and to determine a tailored bolus dose distribution over time from the difference computed. to determine the bolus delivery patterns based additionally on blood glucose responses of the patient after the patient has consumed dietary intakes similar to the specific dietary intakes, the blood glucose responses of the patient being measured by the continuous glucose monitor; to compute a difference between an area under the curve of a graphical representation of the response of the patient to a respective type of dietary intake and an area under the curve of a graphical representation of the response of the one or more non- diabetic individuals to the respective type of dietary intake; and to determine a tailored bolus dose distribution over time from the difference computed.
