insulin had to be altered due to environmental concerns related to its manufacturing,
the pumps began to plug up. It took a few years to solve that problem,
has since developed a replacement version that works very well,
and they are now in studies with a human version of that insulin.
- The first insulin pump to be manufactured was released in the late 70’s. It was known as the “big blue brick” because of its size and appearance.
-The first insulin pump created at that time was the size of a backpack, large and difficult to use/carry.
-The first portable pump was tried out at Guys Hospital in London in 1978.
-1983 the MiniMed 502. , represents a major technological breakthrough in both size and programmability over the previous model.
-1994 Quick Release gives a new level of freedom and flexibility by allowing them to temporarily detach from the insulin pump
- FDA approved in 2003, 2007 for children and teens
(prestent) - today insulin pumps have features such as bolus calculators and compatibility with personal computers so that users can have greater control on their insulin intake and monitor their blood sugar levels more effectively.
