Highlights from this day
  • non_scale_win — if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration 16:02
  • non_scale_win — the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way, ill dig out the number 16:08
  • tarpit_tam — update on the earlier thing if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space 17:07
  • non_scale_win — does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go 17:11

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

clear or bin it

is there any reason not to just always use 2ml

give it 9 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved

the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air

i swirl for about thirty seconds and then leave it. never had one fail to dissolve

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