[Discussion] can we stop arguing about bacteriostatic water until somebody posts a number
insulin syringe. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.
Everything else people worry about in c/glp1muscle 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 4 months. My fasting insulin was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
This is correct. 2mL versus 9mL is the common mistake.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
This is correct. 2mL versus 17mL is the common mistake.
This is correct.
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
i am begging people to write down the concentration
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
Small correction: the trial was 19 weeks, not 14. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
30mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 30/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
This is correct. 2mL versus 24mL is the common mistake.
Dead space ate 6 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 0.5mg, massive impact at 0.25mg.
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
show your working or it is unhelpful
swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation
What was the vial size and how much bac water?
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 38 weeks to accept.
