Message: <blockquote data-quote="jopar" data-source="post: 232241" data-attributes="member: 11712">Actually some pumps do come with an option of glass or plastic cartridges..And Asante released their Pearl pump in May 2011, with take pre-filled standard cartridges.  But alas it's only sold in America <a href="http://www.asantesolutions.com/index.cfm?langid=1" target="_blank">http://www.asantesolutions.com/index.cfm?langid=1</a>I assume that the pump was designed from scratch to fit the standard insulin pen cartridge.. Insulin pump development goes way back to the 60's before human insulin's became available, so in the pump's infancy there was no such thing as a glass 3ml cartridge or insulin pen..  And over the years the developers have kept their designs of the next generation pump in line with the original pumps as it helps to keep both development costs and licencing costs down..</blockquote>
