small win: insulin syringe stopped being a problem at week 76

Discussion

Week 4 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 44.

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 muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration

more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

stopper coring on the 22th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.

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.
