small win: dead space stopped being a problem at week 95
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.25mg to 10mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 23 weeks…

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 11

Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.

Small correction: the trial was 5 weeks, not 5. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Dead space ate 3 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 2.5mg, massive impact at 1.0mg.

stopper coring on the 7th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.

Not to be pedantic but bacteriostatic water and insulin syringe are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which

bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
comment on [Question] Sweden — has anyone got a straight answer on mg/mL in c/reconstitution · 89 points · 2 years ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

comment on why does nobody talk about reconstitution in c/reconstitution · 12 points · 2 years ago
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
