[QUOTE="jopar, post: 231587, member: 11712"] Herbie didn't realise that you've only just started on your pump.. Another tip I forgot to mention, it's referred to has degassing the vial, the problem is that because we've got to pump air into the vial the insulin will adsorb some of this air that's left behind.. So you need to degas the vial.. Easy way of doing this, is when you've finished filling up your cartridge, is to clip the cartridge from the blue collar first, leaving the blue collar in situ on the vial.. Carry on with sorting out the pump and getting this set up.. By leaving the blue collar you equal out the pressure inside the vial and this help cut down on bubbles.. Don't get too down hearted about bubbles, a lot at the moment will be due to being pretty new to pumping, the more times you fill up the cartridges your technique will improve and lessen the bubble problem..
