1. A system for outputting patient alerts related to diabetes therapy, the system comprising:
a patient device including a user interface configured to output one or more alerts, the one or more alerts including alerts related to the diabetes therapy; and
one or more processors configured to:
detect a gesture of a patient using a wearable device communicatively coupled, via the patient device, to a medical device configured to provide the diabetes therapy;
determine, based on a connection to a short-range communication system of a vehicle and by the patient device, that the patient is in the vehicle and determine, based at least in part on the gesture, that the patient is operating the vehicle;
instruct the patient device to output the one or more alerts according to a driving alert protocol based on the determination that the patient is operating the vehicle, wherein the driving alert protocol reduces an output frequency of a portion of the one or more alerts relative to a default alert protocol; and
determine a driving therapy protocol based on the determination that the patient is operating the vehicle, wherein the driving therapy protocol causes the diabetes therapy to be managed differently when the patient is operating the vehicle relative to when the patient is a passenger in the vehicle.
