Highlights from this day

the_bet_2026 — genuine question lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile, i think 19:57
chain_of_custody — 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right 21:02
chain_of_custody — update on the earlier thing my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something 21:07
chain_of_custody — anyone else find the 30mg vials harder to get fully dissolved than the small ones 21:27
oasis_ola — dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month 21:30

dead space

10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100

genuine question lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile, i think

label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 14

it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop

swirl dont shake

write the date on

✅7

yep 10 units

30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right

aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler

update on the earlier thing my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something

anyone else find the 30mg vials harder to get fully dissolved than the small ones

dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month

if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7
