20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy

Highlights from this day
- apob_over_ldl — the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way 23:08
- still_here_2024 — update on the earlier thing took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience, not advice obviously 23:13
- still_here_2024 — my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am 23:14
- vale_vials — a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with 23:24
- reship_rita — one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that, not advice obviously 23:26
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should, we shall see
how much do i lose to dead space with a 30G pin
foam is bad
swirl dont shake
does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder

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

*that should say weekly
is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking
thats fine
bac water
not sterile water
benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically
is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine
