Good luck today with the pokes, and I hope Miss Kitty comes on down, too. Have a nice day.

Re: 7/7 Miss Kitty PMPS 198
PMPS at 198, I gave the .75 units. Question though, if anyone knows, I bought some of the syringes online that have the .5 unit marks and I cannot get the bubble out of them. I can get them out of the other syringes, but not these. Is there some other trick to get the bubbles out of them? Thanks.

Hi April, Here's my procedure for getting the air bubbles out of syringes. Hope it helps. Celi said you needed this!
1. work the plunger back and forth a few times to loosen it up.
2. push the plunger all the way in FORCEFULLY and hold it there.
3. still holding the plunger all the way in, invert the insulin cartridge and insert the needle into the insulin cartridge, ease up on the plunger, and SLOWLY draw out more insulin than you need.
4. with the tip of the needle over a paper towel, slowly TWIST the end of the plunger until you reach your correct dose. (Twisting is easier and more accurate than pushing).
5. give the shot.
The key here is step #2, forcefully holding the plunger all the way in. This expels any air that might be hiding in the syringe and doesn't allow any additional air to get into the syringe.
I use the Monoject syringes, which have a nice, flat plunger and good lines. I order mine (31 gauge, short needle, 1/2-unit markings) from American Diabetes Wholesale:
