## Abstract

Disclosed are a device, system, methods and computer-readable medium products that provide techniques to generate a request for user agenda information. The request may be output to a paired device via the wireless communication interface. A request response that includes the user agenda information may be received from the paired device. Diabetes-related alarms and notifications of a diabetes treatment program that correspond to schedule-related information included in the user agenda information may be identified. Adjustments to the alarm and notification parameters related to the identified diabetes-related alarms and notifications of diabetes treatment program according to user preference settings of the diabetes treatment program may be made. Alarms and notifications related to the diabetes treatment program may be implemented according to the adjusted alarm and notification parameters and an alarm or a notification may be output based on the adjusted alarm and notification parameters.
