I agree, but something like "incomplete bolus" doesn't really make sense to me and I think those types contribute to alarm fatigue. The key issue with T1 diabetes is hypoglycemia, which can cause acute damage and death, so in theory not having insulin on isn't as big of an issue (assuming the patient is actually trying to control their disease and checks blood sugar etc, in the alternate case the alarms probably don't help much). Of course, I agree something like a hypoglycemia alarm is important
