comment on [PSA] your bac water is fine, your fridge door is not in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 1 days ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on week two, nothing is happening, everyone says that is normal, is it in c/newbiequestions · 10 points · 4 days ago
Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.
comment on what does titration actually mean in c/newbiequestions · 17 points · 4 days ago
is this normal week 7 — yes, probably
comment on [Appeal] the external review process nobody tells you exists in c/insurancefights · 33 points · 5 days ago
This is correct. Appeal letters work.
comment on [Question] does the copay card stack with anything or is that a myth in c/insurancefights · 3 points · 10 days ago
copay is separate from coverage
comment on bacteriostatic water — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/reconstitution · 46 points · 27 days ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on why do people talk about units and mg like they are different things in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 1 months ago
This is a good question, genuinely.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 68 weeks to accept.
comment on [Discussion] the copay advice in here is 4 years out of date in c/insurancefights · 41 points · 1 months ago
This is correct. Appeal letters work.
comment on dead space vs reconstitution — genuinely asking which matters more in c/reconstitution · 27 points · 2 months ago
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
comment on small win: units stopped being a problem at week 11 in c/reconstitution · 343 points · 3 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on [Discussion] the insulin syringe advice in here is 10 years out of date in c/reconstitution · 71 points · 3 months ago
Dead space ate 24 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 7.5mg, massive impact at 5mg.
comment on normal: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/newbiequestions · 33 points · 3 months ago
Are you on a pen or vial?
comment on [Meta] the mg/mL rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/reconstitution · 6 points · 3 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on genuine question about reconstitution that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/reconstitution · 318 points · 4 months ago
This is correct. 2mL versus 20mL is the common mistake.
comment on the step therapy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 15 points · 5 months ago
Which plan type? step therapy is different.
comment on [Meta] the prior authorization rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/insurancefights · 8 points · 8 months ago
do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis, that is fraud
comment on unpopular opinion: formulary is massively overrated in c/insurancefights · 16 points · 8 months ago
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
comment on bacteriostatic water vs mg/mL — genuinely asking which matters more in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 9 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 96.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on the normal thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 9 months ago
Yeah, that is totally normal for week 19.
comment on what is is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1uk in c/newbiequestions · 217 points · 9 months ago
is this normal week 24 — yes, probably
