We are sending our daughter to an overnight camp that is not a diabetes-specific camp. She will be responsible for her own canual and reservoir changes. The canuals she's pretty good with, but the reservoirs sometimes give her trouble. She uses a paridigm 522. Has anyone had any experience with pre-filling reservoirs?

I think a lot of people do that - just put them in the refrigerator when you're done and pull them out when you're ready to use them. I'm impressed she can do her own site changes! My daughter can't reach where we have to put them, LOL!

I always fill 3 or 6 at a time. As long as they could be kept cool, I don't see any problem.

you can also put the in a strips container to help from any mishaps

I have done this on occasion. With the MM reservoirs, you can unscrew the plunger when you've filled them so there won't be any mishaps.
