weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill, not advice obviously

a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with

how much do i lose to dead space with a 31G pin

BB

one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that

is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking

not sterile water

BB

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

BB

a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not

GG

if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration

swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back

GG

my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong

i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists

BB

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

BB

label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 32

PF

nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing

GG

i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume, your mileage will differ

genuine question how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved

i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in
