Highlights from this day
- cold_pack_carla — 15mg in 3ml is 5mg/ml. same numbers as 10 in 2, just more of it 22:14
- cold_pack_carla — give it 5 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved 22:20
- VialBot — Recon calculator: 5mg in 2.5ml = 5mg/ml. 22:31
- plus_sixteen — for the archive it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop 23:06
thats fine
is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it
if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7
do you draw up with the same pin you inject with
sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid
write the date on
thats the vacuum
i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths
slightly off topic but if i add 0.5ml to a 40mg vial what concentration am i actually at
not sterile water
dead space
bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 3 weeks

genuine question 5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose
nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing
Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days.
Recon calculator: 5mg in 2.5ml = 5mg/ml.

i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
coming back to this benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically
slightly off topic but 20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy, for what its worth
took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience

it foamed. is it ruined
a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
hiccup_hollisslightly off topic but if i add 0.5ml to a 40mg vial what concentration am i actually at
10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100
is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine
for the archive it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop

the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
