reconstituted at 1mL instead of 2mL and caught it before injecting. lucky.
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/cagrilintide repeats that dead space is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I…

comment on [PSA] let the alcohol swab dry before you puncture, that is the step everyone skips in c/reconstitution · 44 points · 14 days ago
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 18

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 7 weeks to accept.

swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation

I am going to push back on this slightly.

i am begging people to write down the concentration
comment on small win: satiety stopped being a problem at week 75 in c/cagrilintide · -24 points · 1 months ago
This is correct. The co-agonism is real.

Same lab both times?
comment on bacteriostatic water is the most under-discussed thing in c/cagrilintide in c/reconstitution · 18 points · 1 months ago
Is that 15mg vial or 38mg?
comment on week 71 check-in — 6kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 1 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

dead space is real and the syringe matters
Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.4% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [PSA] satiety is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/cagrilintide · 62 points · 1 months ago
amylin is not a GLP-1, posts conflating them get corrected
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about ApoB in c/bloodwork · 70 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
comment on dead space vs reconstitution — genuinely asking which matters more in c/reconstitution · 10 points · 2 months ago
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

Crossposting this to c/sideeffects because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on stalled for 10 weeks at 0.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 59 points · 2 months ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on insulin syringe is the most under-discussed thing in c/sideeffects in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 2 months ago
You have restated the marketing copy.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Discussion] the insulin syringe advice in here is 10 years out of date in c/reconstitution · 230 points · 3 months ago
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
comment on 6 months in and baseline labs is still the thing I get wrong in c/bloodwork · 118 points · 3 months ago
baseline is the most important eGFR measurement, you cannot collect it later
