How Do You Get Rid Of Bubbles In The Insulin Pen?
I have that problem once in a while with my Omnipod. I just tap on the syringe to get rid of the bubbles. Normally that does it for me.
I get them once in a while. The big bubbles go away but the tiny ones stay. I always prime before my dose; however, they are still present. This is a new pen and it's the first time I've had this problem.
Hit the shot or needle with your thumb and middle finger like in a flick notion to get the bubble out.
To get rid of bubbles in an insulin pen:
1. Tap the Pen: Gently tap the insulin pen to move the bubbles to the top.
2. Prime the Pen: Push the plunger to release a small amount of insulin, which should expel the bubbles.
This ensures accurate dosing and helps maintain effective diabetes management.

Bubbles can't come out if you make sure the needle is angled slightly downward when you take a shot.
