IPump was founded in 2006 by Lahle Wolfe, a diabetic, single mother of four. When her youngest daughter was also diagnosed with diabetes the medical bills piled up. Wolfe struggled to make ends meet but was unable to find assistance.
Once faced with having to choose between food and medical needs, she triumphed over her own hardships and now devotes her life to helping other diabetics in need.

Important Announcements |
iPump is expanding - we have outgrown our small 19x10 office (without air conditioning!) and are moving into a larger space over the next two weeks. You can continue to mail applications and donations to the same address listed on our website, but please be patient knowing this move will slow things down a little bit for processing all incoming mail. We are also adding a new toll-free number next week.
Each week we typically receive about 150 phone calls, 300+ emails, dozens of new applications, and donated supplies that need to be logged. Although our accomplishments are big, helping thousands, please remember iPump is run by a staff of only one and your patience is very much appreciated.
Check back to keep up-to-date on iPump happenings or subscribe to our newsletter to receive important announcements.
Is it legal for me to sell, trade, or give my insulin pump or supplies to another individual? No! Please read our FAQs about how you can be sued or crimincally prosecuted for selling (or giving) your insulin pump and pump supplies to someone else, and how donating to iPump protects you from legal liability risks.
