Welcome to Insulin Pumpers UK

Part of an international charity promoting the knowledge and use of insulin pump therapy to treat diabetes.

This site is run by volunteers to help people with diabetes. It is independent of any company. Any information here is not a substitute for the advice of your doctor. Using this site, and our discussion group, is free. But it does cost us money, and if you can make a donation, we will be very grateful.

We also have an American website, and a Canadian website.

News: It is with great sadness that we announce the death of John Neale, who founded the IP-UK website and support group, on 29 November 2006 after a long battle with brain cancer. John was a source of inspiration, information and support to many many diabetics and their families, not only in the UK but worldwide, and he will be greatly missed.
