usually not an issue with the pod. There is no tubing to get a bubble.

AS far as I know, when you inject the insulin into the "oPod" and it starts priming itself you here a clicking and thats the little tab lifting and pushing out the air bubbles before you put it on, therefore no air bubbles. YEAHHH!!!

None hear ever. As long as you get all the big bubbles out of the syringe that fills the pod - champagne bubbles are ok - the priming gets the little ones out. Never, ever had a bubble issue.

bubbles CAN BE an issue for all pumps if you are putting COLD insulin in the pod. Bubbles can form once the insulin reaches room temp. I am not sure if tubing is the issue rather the cold to room temp insulin. Just something to think about.

I second this. Let your insulin warm up to room temperature before filling a pod or insulin reservoir for a pump. I've done this for 20 years and never had a problem with bubbles in the pump.
