Message: <blockquote data-quote="handicapable" data-source="post: 1833845" data-attributes="member: 479878">Yeah I'm not so much concerned with putting the air bubble into my veins as the needles are only 4mm in length and I know how to perform subcutaneous injections correctly, I was just wondering if it was common for them to accumulate in the injection pens. I have been performing air shots and I have been using my common sense by holding the pen upright when injecting to avoid injecting the air bubble as I noticed they do not move when turning the pens upside down. My open pens are stored below 30 degrees C and I have read that the heat at the moment is a factor in them accumulating.I had to dispose of one of my NovoRapid pens towards the end of it's life because the air bubble inside was so big, if this is very common I'll just continue what I'm doing at the moment because waiting for them to warm up after refrigeration doesn't work for me and not keen on the injection being painful either.Thanks for clarifying, thought I would have to buy a cooling case or something.</blockquote>
