RE: [IPp] Air Bubbles in Cartridge
I was instructed to make sure that the insulin is at room temperature
before filling cartridge. I was also told to hold the cartridge straight
up while filling and use a metal pen to help tap any air bubbles to the
top of the cartridge.
My daughter is also on Animas 1250 since August and as long as I follow
these 2 pointers, we haven't experienced the bubbles. We have gone as low
as 3-4 units left without any problems.
