Highlights from this day
sorry to jump in i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in
Archive lookup: maintenance_mo first appears in this channel on 2025-05-30.
whats the smallest volume you would trust yourself to measure on a u100
slightly off topic but if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space
give it 8 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved
thats 5mg/ml
can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted
Reminder for karl_fischer: dose day is today. Set 7 days ago.
swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back
it foamed. is it ruined

anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like

a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with, happy to be corrected
label the vial
my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong

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

right so does temperature of the bac water matter at all
sorry to jump in the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way, not advice obviously
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
sorry to jump in the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air
ok so 20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid
how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved

bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all, i have it written down somewhere
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
