Highlights from this day
  • reta_low_dose — 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right 14:42
  • underfill_uma — if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space, we shall see 15:24
  • underfill_uma — follow up swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back 17:57

took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience

pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick

RL

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

UU

the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly

LL

update on the earlier thing you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
