[QUOTE="Okellino, post: 2719636, member: 591303"] If you do not suspend your pump when removing it: 1. Your pump is dripping insulin 2. Your pump will count the insulin as what you have onboard when in reality you do not- could be dangerous 3. Insulin is extremely expensive and you will be wasting medication ie. insulin 4. If you disconnect and lay it softly on a surface you should not have any problem with air bubbles- I have never filled my tubing after showering and have never had a problem with air bubbles I am in the States and insulin is around $800 for 3 vials. Thank goodness I have a manufacturer coupon for $99! Thanks [/QUOTE]
