Highlights from this day
- eight_mm — pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick 15:59
- eight_mm — bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all 16:33
- eight_mm — took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience, thats one data point 16:36
- rotate_the_site — do you draw up with the same pin you inject with 16:46
- eight_mm — you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should 18:09

the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly
how much do i lose to dead space with a 30G pin
10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use
round numbers
too dilute imo
