lena_lotsok so 40 units of a 2.5 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time, for what its worth#tirzepatide · 2026-01-25a1c_lagone unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that, ymmv#reconstitution · 2026-01-25cross_border_camdead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a
