[Question] how do you actually verify insulin syringe
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on bacteriostatic water in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Cored the stopper on my 6th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
stopper coring on the 16th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.
Dead space ate 11 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 10mg, massive impact at 2.5mg.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
10mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 10/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 20
Crossposting this to c/semaglutide because the people who need it are not reading this community.
Spent 12 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 5mg, 3mL, concentration is 5/3.
