#reconstitution 2025-10-27

yep 10 units

5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose, take that with a pinch of salt

im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong

sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid

update on the earlier thing is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine

a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not

read it at eye level

swirl dont shake

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

can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted

anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 10mg on a round unit mark

slightly off topic but bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 2 weeks

ok so one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that

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

10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use

it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop

Inter-lab diff for lot A-2418: 99.4% vs 99%. Within expected range.

for the archive do i swirl for a specific length of time or just until its clear

write the date on

not sterile water

slightly off topic but if i add 5ml to a 2mg vial what concentration am i actually at

the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air

the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way

too dilute imo

how do you all measure a half unit, or do you just not

i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in

i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists

does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder
