foam means you shook it. do not shake it
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking insulin syringe against eGFR for 15 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
show your working or it is unhelpful
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

Reconstituted at 2mL when I meant 11mL. Caught it because the units looked wrong. Write the concentration.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 5–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

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