What were the older pumps like? Does anyone know where I can see the history of the pump?
Thanks, Jamie

I did a quick search and this site seems to have interesting pictures: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=201986&uid=103405

I can show you an older one ;) it's on my hip! The one image that is etched in my mind is the 50's looking photo with a man wearing this thing that looks like he should also be wearing astronaut gear, with a tube going to his hand with the button on the end....

Its amazing...just a few years back when Ryan started pumping the pump didn't figure out boluses & corrections for you...I remember doing the math myself. what a pain that was.... Now its soooooo easy
