the units thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on reconstitution in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Cored the stopper on my 9th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 9
Two vials, two different concentrations, forgot which was which, almost made a 14 times error. Now I label everything.
stopper coring on the 16th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.
5mg vial, 1mL water, concentration is 5/1 — write it on the vial afterwards
Dead space ate 6 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 0.25mg, massive impact at 15mg.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with concentration, not with what you concluded.
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
