Highlights from this day
- fake_tracking — aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler 21:58
- fake_tracking — swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back, anyway 22:04
- acetate_ash — i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists 22:28
- bea_reconstitutes — anyone else find the 30mg vials harder to get fully dissolved than the small ones 22:42
- bea_reconstitutes — update on the earlier thing temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does 22:43
is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking

pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick
swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back, anyway
i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths
read it at eye level
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
check your maths
coming back after 15 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed

foam is bad
thats 5mg/ml
my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
