Good morning all, I need some help please, I am using a Aviva combo pump and the flexi link wire seems to hold loads of bubbles. When I first do it I infusion it all and no bubbles a few days later, bloods are high and I can see loads of bubbles at the top of the cartridge. What is the best way to wear the pump? Also after I sort it out, my blood sugars are fine after testing my blood but when I test use the freestyle libra 2 my keto’s are high, I seem to have to do adjusts so many times. I have now increased my insulin intake on my pump but not sure what I am doing is right. All advice is very much appreciated thank you
 
Hello @Kimmylou welcome to the forum.

I use a different pump, however I am pretty careful about priming the set to make sure all the air bubbles are out before it's inserted, what's your regime for priming the set before using it ? How you wear the pump shouldn't make any difference it would be making sure all the air has been primed out of the set before inserting. Also to add if you have questions about priming the set then it's a good idea to contact the manufacturer and run through it with them over the phone to make sure you've done everything you can before wearing it.
 
I change cartridge and prime it before inserting and it seems to show that there are no air bubbles, it seems to be after i wear it for a day or two
