week 91 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me
Right, the insulin syringe question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 18 data points over 6 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 29, not week 78. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
stopper coring on the 9th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.

Not to be pedantic but reconstitution and mg/mL are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
This is correct. 2mL versus 3mL is the common mistake.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
show your working or it is unhelpful

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 33 weeks to accept.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
Cored the stopper on my 22th 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 11
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
What was the vial size and how much bac water?
Spent 14 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 30mg, 2mL, concentration is 30/2.
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
Spent 11 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 20mg, 2mL, concentration is 20/2.
Slight fix: the number was 99.1, not 93.7. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
