Kim: Wow, what a wonderful history of pumps. Thank you for making this available. I'm new to the pump, I started in Jan. 2009. I had my pancreas removed in 2007 due to an extended illness with it. I love using my Minimed Paradigm 522. I also have a new wonderful gadget, it's the continuous gloucose monitor. I have the Freestyle Navigator, it's 99% accurate and has the least problems and risks of infection than any other CGM. In Europe they do NOT require blood tests before treating when usning the Navigator, it's proven itself to be that accurate. I love the alarms that go off when I'm getting to high or low.
Thank you again for your wonderful history page.

Craig Roberts: Hey, hey everybody. I found this site when I was doing research on pumps before I ever started pumping. It's great! And, guess what?!? Jan's got a book out now!! It's called "Tolerating the Sweet Life" and sales benefit the JDRF and Insulin-Pumpers.org. Her book gives her experiences with diabetes for over 50 years, pumping for over 20 years, and having dialysis for two years. It's a great read! Go to http://www.authorhouse.com, click on "Bookstore" and enter "Hughey" into the search box. There's also a companion book -- "A C.L.I.P. of Poems."
Keep up the good work Jan!

Cheryl McQueen: I met Jan when I was first diagnosed 31 years ago. She has been an inspiration to me ever since. Jan is the kind of person who can help all of us diabetics to have strength and hope with this disease. She is an angle sent from God above to me the day I met her.

shannon blalock: I'm a type I diabetic and a pediatric resident. I am doing a presentation on insulin pumps for our faculty at Arkansas Children's Hospital. The pictures of the pump are a great documentary. Is there any way I can find these to show in my presentation?

Tonie Collova: Would LOVE to wear the pump. I'm sure I'd be alot more apt to take insulin when I should as I would not have to leave the table or excuse myself to take the insulin when needed. I would simply use the remote. What a dream for me! ! !

daphne: Hi, What a great photo album. I recognized a few of those pumps and that glass syringe injector thingy from way back when my sister used them. She began pumping in the early 1980's. She was born in 1947, and I was born in 1962. I was diagnosed with Type I IDDM in 1983 and have been pumping since 1995. . . Y'all really give me inspiration, thanks for helping to pave the way.

Peter Gordon: I bagan pumping in 1981 with the Autosyringe AS*6C. When I upgraded to the AS6MP, I passed the original on to the doctor who gave it to a medicare patient (who I believe is still using it). From the AS6MP, I upgraded to the 8MP (Eugly), then to a Minined 507c, and currently using the Dtron+. I still have the 6MP and 8MP (which both still work!). Thanks for this walk down memory lane!

Helen: Hi,thanks for the great info and photos. I have been pumping for 2mths (june '02), diagnosed type 1 at age 32. My dad remembers his father sterilizing his glass syringes in a frying pan...how far we've come! I love some of the pump names - betatron?!! sounds like a space ship.
August 27, 2002 11:13AM
Ingrid Fylling: Great site! I've been diabetic for 6,5 years and a pumper for 2. Reading your detailed descriptions has been very interesting to me. I'm also interested in the history of diabetes in general, so I would apreciate it a lot if you have any relevant sites to recomend.
August 14, 2002 12:42PM
Frida: Jan, Very interesting and informative! Not a diabetic and hope I never have to use the information - but think it is great that you have gone to so much time and effort to share your story and to encourage others!
June 30, 2002 5:13PM
Dorothy Smith: I just loved looking at your pictures as I have been Diabetic for 51 years (Sept,1951) and have never known any other Type 1 Diabetics. I loved enjoying your BASH through your pictures. Thank you Dorothy Smith IP er

Marilyn \"McView\": Great pages Jan. I started pumping in 1988 with a Minimed 504. It was relatively new at that time. I still have the manual and would be happy to send you copies of this is you are interested. Although the 504 was the same size as the current pumps, the features and operation were very different. (I'm on a 508 now).
May 5, 2002 6:57PM
Steve Baker: I loved the pictures. I started on the CPI 9100 in 1982. What a monster! I then moved to the Betatron II then the Betatron IV. I then was forced to leave CPI as they were leaving the pump business and in 1990 I started on the Minimed 504-S. I traded up in 1994 to the model 506 and last July I started on the 508. I will be moving this Fall to the new Paradigm pump from Minimed and am looking foreword to the change. I would have to say the two greatest advancements with Insulin pumps for me have been the quick disconnect infusion sets and Humalog insulin. Keep up the great site, I enjoyed it very much and keep on pumping.
April 14, 2002 12:34PM
Craige Webb: I have been a diabetic since 6/1975. Now I have the finances to get a pump. But I need the costs and specifications to choose the right one with my Docter and Voc. Rehab.
March 8, 2002 10:31PM
Janine Shea: Hi, great pictures! I started on an Autosyringe but have no images of it. I also used a Nordisk Infuser, which I still have, along with the instruction book. I have been on a pump for 17 years so have worked my way through several pumps (also Minimed 504-S, 506, now 508). If you need any info about the Infuser, feel free to email me. My pump pages are at: http://members.shaw.ca/insulinpumps/ and there are a couple of pump pics.

Thomas Emge: Very nice and interesting history of insulin pumps. Congratulation on the site and thanks for the work you put into it.
The picture CPI~Nordisk picture reads:
'Insulin pumps of the older generation that were used until the mid 90's'.

Kathy M.: Thanks for the history. I've been on a pump for 3 1/2 years and am also a pump trainer. I'll definitely pass this website on to all in our pump group. It's good for us to see the past to appreciate what we have now!!
November 28, 2001 3:25PM
mahsa: Hello,
I am a UC Davis student and I am doing research on insulin pumps. My boyfriend is diabetic and want to know as much as i possibly can about what I can do to help, as well as what new products are available. It would be awsome to learn about the history of the insulin pump.
October 16, 2001 11:56PM
Karen Murray: I'm an IP member and saw your website mentioned in your post of 9/17. Loved the Evolution of Pumps and forwarded it on to other pumpers I know. Thanks! Pump On! Karen
September 20, 2001 2:59PM
Rebecca Abbey: I have had diabetes for 26 years and have been trying to get on the insulin pump. My 2 year old daughter was dx'd recently with Type 1. Hopefully, armed with more knowledge and determination for my daughter, we will both be pumpers soon. Thanks for the info.
August 27, 2001 4:49PM
Glenda Strickland: This is so much fun to visit! My brother had an Autosyringe (with the syringe outside) in 1979 and several "upgrades" until he finally got a double transplant in 1996. I got a MiniMed 504-S in 1988, which finally broke in 1993. I replaced it with my present pump, a 506. I have enjoyed pumping, but feel like such an "old" pumper! It is good to meet someone else who knows the advantages of the pumps these days! Thanks for all the memories!
August 19, 2001 3:14PM
Shirley Scroggins: Jan, you did a great job presenting the pictures. I hope I can meet you and as many of the DM"s as I can
It looks like you have fun together. God Bless All
July 18, 2001 9:39PM
Jeff: These are fascinating photos, and your story is inspiring. I've been pumping since March 2001, and had seen your site while I was deciding to take the leap.
I've linked the pictures to another website; hope that will be OK with you. (That link is at )
June 24, 2001 1:41PM
Barbara Young: I love your pictures!! Especially the first pump, what a device. Its great to have the history recorded somewhere accessible.
March 9, 2001 9:06PM
Mr. Kim Weiss:
Being a relatively new pumper, two years, you pictures are quite a relavation. Great work!
February 17, 2001 7:44AM
Jocelyn Robinson: Thank you so much for sharing all this information - I learned a lot! I am the mother of an 1 year old boy living with diabetes who will be going on the pump 3/1/01. Thanks again

Marceil Edson: I really enjoyed seeing the BASH pictures. What a fun person you are to make time for such a special event and then take all the time to share it with us in this way. You are an inspiration. Thanks.
January 31, 2001 6:13AM
Connie "Dot" Hodges: Jan, you have done a great job with all of your pictures. It was an honor and privilege to be able to attend the BASH and spend time with you that weekend. Julianne still mentions visiting Lunkers with you. Thanks for being a great e-pal and friend.

January 25, 2001 9:11AM
Chris Cencelewski: Finally got to the web site to see your pictures of the BASH after Sara kept bugging me! Sara thought it was cool and Brittany kept wondering where she was! That's okay! I told her that she was wayyyy busy helping! Cool pictures. I know alot of time and effort went into putting it together and it shows. God is indeed good!
January 25, 2001 8:49AM
Sue DePinto: You are very talented Jan. Cool pictures. Your web page is cool too.
January 18, 2001 8:39PM
Anita Hemmer (Connie's Mom): I read your BASH anniversary book, and it was a blessing in addition to giving me greater insight to Connie's future with diabetes. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Knowing Christ as your Saviour gives the grace and peace only He can give.
