  • still_here_2024 — a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not 22:11
  • reta_resting_hr — i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in, for what its worth 22:25
  • reta_resting_hr — do you let it come to room temp before drawing or draw it cold 22:26

whats the smallest volume you would trust yourself to measure on a u100

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

quick one is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking

bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 4 weeks

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

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

nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing

one unit is 0.01ml

[edited]

you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should

read it at eye level

for the archive lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile

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

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