It will carry on working ok. You might want to keep an eye on your tubing to make you don't bolus air. When/if it appears just disconnect the pump from you body and bolus until the bubbles goes.
 
Thanks pg, feel better now 🙂
 
I used to worry at first and re prime every bubble but you just end up wasting your insulin. Just keep an eye on it. You can clip your pump so bubble floats up to the bottom end, hope that makes sense? Once i see in tubing i will prime if it looks more than a unit or so
