insulin syringe is the most under-discussed thing in c/sideeffects
Right, the mg/mL question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 20 data points over 18 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 60, not week 14. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

Cored the stopper on my 23th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
i am begging people to write down the concentration
stopper coring on the 15th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
Mechanistically the bit that matters is bacteriostatic water. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
Cored the stopper on my 17th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
Two vials, two different concentrations, forgot which was which, almost made a 22 times error. Now I label everything.
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 20
Mechanistically the bit that matters is bacteriostatic water.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 19 weeks to accept.
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
5mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 5/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
This is correct. 1mL versus 12mL is the common mistake.
