What pump are you using?
Are you noticing bubbles when priming etc or say 24 hours after sets have been in?
Please use room temp insulin when you start... water/saline may not work the same way..
Make sure you tap the bottom lightly of the pump on your knee/ hand/work top whilst it is priming initially. If you do it the whole time you will jyst get more bubbles.....
Personally, for me I always wore the pump so bubbles would go to the opposite end not the tube end...
Tap the pump? I've never heard of this. I've never worn the pump while changing it either but I've not had any bother with bubbles other than when I relax too much and pull the plunger too fast on the bottle haha. Where did you learn/get told of that? I'll take a note if I get issues.
