History of Insulin Pumps
The first insulin pump was devised by Arnold Kadish in 1963. A more wearable version was devised in the late 1970s (SOURCE: https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/display/BIOE414/The+History+of+Insulin+Pumps). The insulin pump was first endorsed in the United Kingdom in 2003, by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence. The first portable infusion pump was developed by Dean Kamen in the 1970s. Kamen formed a company called "Auto Syringe" to market the product, which he sold to Baxter Health Care in 1981 (SOURCE: http://www.diabeteswellbeing.com/who-invented-the-insulin-pump.html).
