Highlights from this day
- declared_value — dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month 21:44
- ida_injects — if the powder is on the stopper, tap it down before you add anything. it will still dissolve either way, take that with a pinch of salt 21:45
- declared_value — if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7 21:48
- swab_dry_first — i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists 22:14
- first_vial_finn — quick one can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted 22:58
bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 5 weeks

is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go
too dilute imo
10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use
foam is bad
15mg in 3ml is 5mg/ml. same numbers as 10 in 2, just more of it
not sterile water
quick one can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted

a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not, we shall see
