The invention relates to a device and method for treating diabetic patients on insulin therapy. More specifically, the invention includes apparatus for infusing insulin into a patient in an amount determined by the patient's carbohydrate intake, blood glucose level, and the amount of insulin calculated to be present in the patient at the time the therapy is to be administered. In one embodiment, an insulin infusion device having an on-board processor obtains a patient's blood glucose value from a remote sensor and receives input from a user indicating their recent meal intake. The insulin infusion device is securely and reliably connected to the remote sensor by employing biometric analysis to ensure that the person initiating the command via the remote sensor is also the intended person to receive treatment via the insulin infusion device.
