Highlights from this day
- belfast_bac — if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration 21:05
- abdo_two_inch — do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration 21:08
- alt_ast_ali — sorry to jump in label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 25 21:28
- abdo_two_inch — i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel,… 23:58

i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does
thats fine
thats 5mg/ml

sorry to jump in my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
sorry to jump in label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 25

sorry to jump in do i swirl for a specific length of time or just until its clear
my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
it foamed. is it ruined
quick one is there any reason not to just always use 2ml
a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine
do you draw up with the same pin you inject with
the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
