comment on someone explain units to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/reconstitution · 76 points · 4 months ago
This is correct. 1mL versus 5mL is the common mistake.

the 1.0mg dose works fine for 41 weeks of the month

show your working or it is unhelpful

comment on goal weight: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/maintenancephase · 110 points · 6 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on [PSA] Medutest is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/vendorvetting · 35 points · 6 months ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
comment on Spain: concentration, and what it actually costs here in c/reconstitution · 393 points · 6 months ago
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
comment on week 51 check-in — 11kg down, the food-noise thing manageable, one thing confusing me in c/vendorvetting · 22 points · 6 months ago
referral links mean instant ban, no exceptions
comment on why does nobody talk about insulin syringe in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 7 months ago

swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation

regain is not a moral failing
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify dead space in c/reconstitution · 70 points · 7 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on three years of goal weight threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/maintenancephase · 89 points · 9 months ago
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.

the plateau is where the learning happens
comment on [PSA] order records is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/vendorvetting · 58 points · 10 months ago
