My relative is definitely calibrating some instrument related to the pump multiple times per day.


Ah, then they are calibrating their CGM (likely integrated into the pump, as they are likely using either an Animas Vibe (outside the US) or a Metronic Minimed Paradigm). They aren't calibrating the pump, they are calibrating the pump's CGM vis a vi their meter via finger stick.


Not an expert, but maybe he's talking about the relative changing the basal rate (correct words? The 'give me this amount continuously' rate a pump will inject) or (this is something my type I ex-gf did a lot) he mistakes some 'correction shots' after meals for calibration?


Definitely involves blood and a small oval thing with a LCD screen.
