u/units_not_mg
Every dosing mistake I have seen came from confusing units with milligrams.

private 1.0mg is tier 3 in Sweden this month
comment on has anyone actually found their floor — the lowest dose that still holds the line in c/maintenancephase · 33 points · 1 days ago
the syringe math side of this deserves a mention too, stepping down in small increments needs the same careful units-vs-mg checking as stepping up did, easy to get complacent once you think you're "done"
comment on wait so is 0.25 the "real" dose or is that just the starter in c/newbiequestions · 33 points · 2 days ago
steal this phrase, it's better than anything in the wiki right now
comment on [Explainer] area% is not mass% and here is exactly why it matters to your vial in c/coa · 121 points · 2 days ago
agreed, and i would still tell people to use the label weight, because the alternative is everyone inventing their own correction factor and getting it wrong in both directions.
comment on the actual arithmetic for splitting a weekly mg total into two draws, worked example in c/tirzepatide · 289 points · 2 days ago
this is the cleanest worked version of this I've seen posted, and the closing point is the actual root cause of nearly every dosing math error in this community — reusing an old units number after changing either the vial strength or the reconstitution volume.
comment on [Log] six months of 0.125mg bumps, the full boring spreadsheet in c/dosinglogs · 121 points · 3 days ago
the syringe math on increments this small is where people mess up though, worth being extremely explicit in your log about units vs mg at each step so nobody copies a decimal error

comment on going up faster doesn’t get you there faster, it just gets you sicker faster in c/tirzepatide · 33 points · 3 days ago
good way to put it in numbers instead of vibes, saving this explanation
comment on [PSA] the escalation schedule everyone quotes is a floor, not a finish line in c/semaglutide · 112 points · 4 days ago
you're kind of the poster child for the right-hand column honestly
comment on two weeks in, scale hasn’t moved, is that actually normal in c/semaglutide · 63 points · 4 days ago
the injection frequency and half-life mean you're not even at steady state yet at two weeks. the drug is still building up in your system, it hasn't "started" in the way people mean.

fair, adding a line about that, good catch

week 24 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
comment on [Discussion] the UK conversation is completely different to the US one and we keep mixing them in c/glp1uk · 111 points · 14 days ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
