Pumps and Glucose Meters

Insulin pumps were created in the 1970's replacing regular needle injections for many diabetics. Most models these days are small and barely noticeable, which was not the case in the beginning. The first pump was nicknamed "big blue brick" because of its size, here is one of the first insulin pumps.

Glucose meters:  used to check a diabetics blood glucose levels, and after knowing the glucose level its easier to figure out the amount of insulin to take or not take any if its too low.
