A while back, Omnipod device was announced (basically, a small pump with wireless connection to a control device):

I can't imagine it being much smaller than the omnipod. It sounds like the insulin will be absorbed through the skin as it makes no mention of a cannula

Found this link which is interesting. It's an article on the progress of non-invasive insulin treatments and mentions the Medingo Solo (article is from 2008)

and here's an article from this months edition with other patch based methods that are being tested:

Thanks Mike, looks pretty good and similar to the omnipod. Doubt that'll be NHS funded for a while unless it comes out cheaper than the pumps currently being used.
