[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 1831398, member: 372207"] I can shoot upward as much as I want, bubble is still there. My guess is that the needles are too tiny to let it properly out. Of course we've all seen tv-shows where a syringe is tapped and an airshot performed before injecting, and I do see the wisdom of that with injecting intraveneus. But there must be a reason why the very long winded leaflet that comes with the insulin pens doesn't speak about getting air out. The only thing that's said is to squirt 1 or 2 units (depending on brand) before injecting. As far as I know that's to check if the needle works and to fill the needle itself with insulin, which makes sense with very small doses. Neither did my nurse instruct me to try to get air bubbles out. Anyone elses did? [/QUOTE]
