My first answer is to quote the home page : "Please consult your physician
for medical questions, and your Rav (Rabbi) for halachic (Jewish law)
decisions."
My second answer is to excerpt the third post on the Jewish Insulin Pumpers
group archive which was written by Rabbi Meisels (dated September 2003):
*******start excerpt*********
When I started pumping (apprx. four years ago) I asked my rav and I was told
that I should everything in the usual way. (snip)
Again, my rav told me that I can change batteries or cartridges or sets
whenever needed. L'maise I have a routine with changing batteries, so I
don't wait until it tells me the 'low battery alarm', so having to change on
shabbos is very rare for me. (snip)
