What is Insulin Pumpers Canada?

Insulin Pumpers Canada is a federally incorporated not for profit corporation, and charity (# 88062 9704 RR0001) with it's National office in Lower Sackville, N.S.

Insulin Pumpers Canada began in May 2001, as Insulin Pumpers Nova Scotia. We began as a support group for people who were using insulin pump therapy for themselves or their children and as an information source for people interested in insulin pump therapy. We are not affiliated with any pump company.

What we are evolving into has been directed by the visions of our members (membership is free). They wish to raise the profile of pumping and provide others with the support and knowledge that was a key ingredient to their own success. We seek to fill the void between what medical professionals can do for insulin dependent diabetics and what people who use insulin pumps require in order to optimize their blood glucose control and quality of life by effectively utilizing the insulin pump.

Insulin Pumpers Canada - Nova Scotia Division and head office holds meetings six times per year and are open to all people interested in insulin pump therapy. Ongoing contact on a national basis is available via phone or email.

Our Mission:

To promote insulin pump therapy and help users optimize its benefits by providing support, education, information and advocacy for people with diabetes, their families, health care professionals, and the general public.




Current Objectives:

To provide an up-to-date one stop forum about pumping insulin for Canadians who:

  • Are looking for education and/or support and want to know what is available locally,
    regionally and nationally

  • Are interested in sharing their experiences, skills and knowledge with others.

  • Want to connect with individuals and/or organizations that are interested in advocacy for

    for education and support to all Canadians.

  • To hold, or participate in, support and educational forums about insulin pump therapy for
    members of the general public and for health care professions.

  • To promote the acceptance of insulin pump therapy by providing our unbiased information,

    the health care profession.



  • Future Objectives and Vision:

    To provide a means to gather Canadian data and provide statistics on changes in physical
    and emotional health and lifestyle (quantitative and qualitative) related to insulin pump
    therapy, leading to valid, comprehensive studies.

    To provide a forum where advocates across the country can connect in order to facilitate,
    support and harmonize their efforts to have coverage for costs associated with insulin
    pump therapy.

    To provide a list of resources for people to access a means and ways to fund an insulin
    pump and supplies.

    To gather Canadian data and provide statistics, province by province, to increase
    awareness of coverage, medical plans (private and governmental) and tax credits available.
