Reconstitution is a solubility problem, not a mixing problem, and mechanical shear does nothing helpful. Reconstituted at…

Adding one thing — put the date on the label too. Concentration plus date and you can never mix two vials up.
units are a volume on a U-100 syringe, not a dose
Correction: that gives 30 units, not what you have written. 10mg into 3mL is 3.33mg/mL and the division follows from there.
label the vial with the date as well as the concentration
The dead space question sent me down a rabbit hole for a week. It is a fraction of a unit and it is the same every draw.
5mg into 1mL is 5mg/mL, and 0.75mg of that is 15 units
Cosigning the round-number approach. Reconstituting to something awkward is how you end up drawing 27.5 units at six in the morning.
the number you write down is the number you will trust at 6am
