[QUOTE="richyb, post: 1255416, member: 255556"] i am not on a pump but MDI. However a few months ago I was put on 200 strengh Humalog pens. No matter how much I try i cannot get rid of bubbles. I can get most out but not all and by the end of the day more have appeared. I wonder if it is caused by slight changes in temperature throughout the day. The insulin is sealed so if the liquid volume changes slightly it might cause (not air bubbles but vacuum bubbles, if the piston plunger is stiff) As the plunger does not move but the volume needs it too. Think of how an old fashioned temp gauge works. Perhaps Humalog is more suseptible to it? [/QUOTE]
