Very interesting article as well, thanks for posting! It would be great that one day pumps are available to everyone as an option rather than being restricted.
 
Blimey, wouldn't bother with pump if had to carry that lot around, just shows how far we have come, pumps are so tiny now.
 
If you click the arrows or the years at the top, you can scroll through pics showing you how pumps looked through the years. Sooil produces the Dana pump and also produced the first commercially available insulin pump:

One of the pumps looks like it was in a suitcase basically :D
 
I think i picked a good time to become a t1, so many things like sensors to make life easier
