Highlights from this day
if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space
bac water
if the powder is on the stopper, tap it down before you add anything. it will still dissolve either way
bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 6 weeks
is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it

i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume
one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that
i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths, from memory
dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month
10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use

does temperature of the bac water matter at all
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler, n of 1 obviously

do i swirl for a specific length of time or just until its clear
Reminder for ring_size_down: dose day is today. Set 8 days ago.

took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience

i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in
bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it

it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop
does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go
the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
