anyone else notice units kicking in around week 4

Correctionbranch of 8 comments

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 1.7mg, week 32, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — dead space — and tracked it for 20 weeks. Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else…

Cored the stopper on my 18th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?

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

This is correct. 1mL versus 21mL is the common mistake.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

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.

c/reconstitution rules
  1. Show your numbers. "How many units?" with no mg and no mL cannot be answered.
  2. Never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration it assumes.
  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.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
