[Discussion] can we stop arguing about dead space until somebody posts a number
insulin syringe. That is the whole post, but I will justify it. Everything else people worry about in c/intlshipping is downstream of it. Titration speed, reflux, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort insulin syringe out first, and almost nobody does. I say this having got it wrong for 12…
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
5mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 5/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
Dead space ate 12 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 1.0mg, massive impact at 1.7mg.
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 10

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 90 weeks to accept.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Dead space ate 15 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 0.5mg, massive impact at 12.5mg.
