Highlights from this day
took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience, ill dig out the number
temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does

write the date on
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
dead space
im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong
unrelated but the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
quick one coming back after 8 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed
not sterile water
foam is bad
[edited]can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted

the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick

sorry to jump in the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly, from memory
is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it
dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right

round numbers
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
