Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods and systems associated with a disposable dispenser (100, 200) of therapeutic fluid. Preferred embodiments having a small size of less than about 75 mm in length, less than 50 mm in width and less than about 10 mm in thickness and may be releasably attached to the body (B). In one embodiments, the dispenser draws fluid from a flexible volume-conformable reservoir (4) and operates a dosing and metering pump (6, 61, 62, 63) incorporating a motor to deliver fluid through a fluid delivery tool (8, 81, 82). Disposed on the housing bottom (2B) is a peel-off tape (22) that when removed, electrically connects a power supply (18) to power the operative components (3) of the dispenser into operation, exposes an adhesive (28) and a window (21) in the housing (2), and allows the fluid delivery tool (8) to extend for insertion into the skin (S).

The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 1, wherein said pump is a gear-on-gear pump. 11. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 10, further comprising a gear position sensor disposed within the housing interior in operative association with the pump, and said sensor is coupled to the controller to derive the flow rate of the therapeutic fluid. 12. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 10, further comprising at least two pressure sensors said sensors are disposed within the housing interior spatially arranged downstream of the pump and upstream of a fluid delivery tool, and said sensors coupled to the controller to derive either one of fluid flow rate and fluid flow pressure or both fluid flow rate and fluid flow pressure. 13. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 1, wherein said pump is electromagnetic membrane pump. 14. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 13, further comprising at least two pressure sensors disposed within the housing interior said sensors are spatially arranged downstream of the pump and upstream of a fluid delivery tool, and said sensors are coupled to the controller to derive either one of fluid flow rate and fluid flow pressure or both fluid flow rate and fluid flow pressure. 15. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 1, wherein the fluid delivery tool is capable of being arranged in a collapsed position upon being placed in a package, and wherein upon removing the dispenser from the package, the fluid delivery tool is capable of unfolding to protrude to the housing exterior and thereby be ready for insertion into the body of the user. 16. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 15, wherein the fluid delivery tool is capable of being re-collapsed for placement into a package for disposal. 17. The disposable therapeutic fluid dispenser according to claim 1, further comprising a controller for at least one of control, management and operation of the dispenser wherein upon removal of the tape, power is supplied to at least one of the controller and the pump to enable operation of the fluid dispenser. 18.
