SS

do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration

📈2

i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths

weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill

benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically

SS

i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume

SS

bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 5 weeks

FU

temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does

FU

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

GV

anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 0.5mg on a round unit mark

LM

coming back to this is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine
i swirl for about thirty seconds and then leave it. never had one fail to dissolve

is it normal for the cake to look slightly collapsed on one side
