[QUOTE="ElkBond, post: 1243123, member: 270837"] It clears the air in the needle, any crud (to be honest as they are sterile there is bound to be none, but if you reuse needles it will help) and ensures there is no blockage ensuring you get the right dose of insulin. By blockage it could be both something in the needle or a manufacturing defect stopping the insulin going through. Basically dial two units and press. If you see a constant stream from the needle you are good to go. In the note of air, I am pretty sure its not great to inject air into you.
