15mg in 3ml is 5mg/ml. same numbers as 10 in 2, just more of it, thats one data point

Highlights from this day
- pinch_not_stretch — if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration 17:07
- eight_mm — took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience 17:28
- u100_pat — if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it 18:40
- pinch_not_stretch — do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration, someone check my working 18:46
check your maths
a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
yep 10 units

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

sorry to jump in 10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100
anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 0.5mg on a round unit mark
[edited]anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like
follow up the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
thats 5mg/ml
clear or bin it
round numbers

30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does
the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air
*Medutest not the other one
sorry to jump in do you draw up with the same pin you inject with

dead space
if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month
do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration, someone check my working
not sterile water
