A method of coordinating communications in an ambulatory infusion pump system to preserve battery life, comprising:
- establishing a wireless communications link between an ambulatory infusion pump and a consumer electronic device;
- causing therapy to be provided to the patient with the ambulatory infusion pump;
- limiting communications between the ambulatory infusion pump and the consumer electronic device while therapy is provided to the patient with the ambulatory infusion pump to preserve a battery life of at least one of the ambulatory infusion pump and the consumer electronic device;
- activating the wireless communications link between the ambulatory infusion pump and the consumer electronic device upon occurrence of a predetermined event;
- and
- transmitting information related to the predetermined event upon activating the wireless connection due to the occurrence of the predetermined event.
