A modular external infusion device that controls the rate a fluid is infused into an individual's body, which includes a first module and a second module. More particularly, the first module may be a pumping module that delivers a fluid, such as a medication, to a patient while the second module may be a programming module that allows a user to select pump flow commands. The second module is removably attachable to the first module.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for infusing a fluid into a body from an external infusion device, comprising: activating one or more icons displayed on a second module of an external infusion device to select one or more program menus formed by the one or more icons, the external infusion device having a first module, the first module including a first housing, an alarm in the first housing, a reservoir in the first housing to hold fluid, and a pump in the first housing, adapted to pump the fluid from the reservoir, and a second module, the second module being adapted to removably attach to the first module, the second module including a second housing, and a display in the second housing, wherein the second module communicates with the first module to provide a fluid delivery program for the flow of the fluid from the first housing; programming pump flow commands to be communicated to the first module, wherein the first module dispenses the fluid through a pump in the first module in accordance with the pump flow commands of the second module; and removing the second module from the first module, wherein the first module continues fluid delivery when not attached to the second module. 2. The method of claim 1, further including storing the fluid delivery program in a memory. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by sliding onto the first module. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by snapping onto the first module. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by hook and loop fasteners. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the display is touch sensitive. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the display further includes customizable settings. 8. The method of claim 1, further including using a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second module is compatible with a replacement of the first module. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first module is compatible with a replacement of the second module. 11. A method for infusing a fluid into a body from an external infusion device, comprising: displaying one or more icons on a display of a second module of an external infusion device, the external infusion device having a first module, the first module including a first housing, an alarm in the first housing, a reservoir in the first housing to hold fluid, and a pump in the first housing, adapted to pump the fluid from the reservoir, and a second module, the second module being adapted to removably attach to the first module, the second module including a second housing, and a display in the second housing, wherein the second module communicates with the first module to provide a fluid delivery program for the flow of the fluid from the first housing; receiving pump flow commands on fluid delivery in the first module; delivering the fluid according to the pump flow commands; and initiating an alarm to alert when a user's blood glucose level value goes beyond an allowed value range. 12. The method of claim 11, further including storing the fluid delivery program in a memory. 13. The method of claim 12, further including retrieving the stored fluid delivery program from the memory to control fluid delivery. 14. The method of claim 11, further including initiating an alarm to alert when there is a pump blockage. 15. The method of claim 11, further including initiating an alarm to alert when a malfunction is detected. 16. The method of claim 11, further including initiating an alarm to alert when communication between the second and the first module is disrupted. 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by sliding onto the first module. 18. The method of claim 11, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by snapping onto the first module. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by hook and loop fasteners. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein the display is touch sensitive. 21. The method of claim 11, wherein the display further includes customizable settings. 22. The method of claim 11, further including using a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. 23. A method for infusing a fluid into a body from an external infusion device, comprising: displaying one or more icons on a display of a second module of an external infusion device, the external infusion device having a first module, the first module including a first housing, an alarm in the first housing, a reservoir in the first housing to hold fluid, and a pump in the first housing, adapted to pump the fluid from the reservoir, and a second module, the second module being adapted to removably attach to the first module, the second module including a second housing, and a display in the second housing, wherein the second module communicates with the first module to provide a fluid delivery program for the flow of the fluid from the first housing; receiving pump flow commands on fluid delivery in the first module; delivering the fluid according to the pump flow commands; and initiating an alarm to alert when communication between the second and the first module is disrupted. 24. The method of claim 23, further including storing the fluid delivery program in a memory. 25. The method of claim 24, further including retrieving the stored fluid delivery program from the memory to control fluid delivery. 26. The method of claim 23, further including initiating an alarm to alert when there is a pump blockage. 27. The method of claim 23, further including initiating an alarm to alert when a malfunction is detected. 28. The method of claim 23, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by sliding onto the first module. 29. The method of claim 23, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by snapping onto the first module. 30. The method of claim 23, wherein the second module is adapted to removably attach to the first module by hook and loop fasteners. 31. The method of claim 23, wherein the display is touch sensitive. 32. The method of claim 23, wherein the display further includes customizable settings. 33. The method of claim 23, further including using a Global Positioning System (GPS) device.
