dead space — 17 things I got wrong before I got it right

Discussionbranch of 10 comments

Week 40 update. 46kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 80. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness. The part that surprised me is how much of this is…

Spent 10 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 5mg, 1mL, concentration is 5/1.

Adding to this: insulin syringe is doing more work than the comment implies.

Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.

About c/reconstitution

The arithmetic and the technique. Bacteriostatic versus sterile water, reconstitution volume as a concentration choice, converting mg/mL into insulin-syringe units, dead space, swirl-not-shake, stopper coring, and how long a reconstituted vial is actually good for. Math errors get corrected fast and politely.

  1. Show your numbers. "How many units?" with no mg and no mL cannot be answered.

  3. No sterile-compounding-for-others discussion. Personal handling only.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
