comment on does dead space actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/reconstitution · 36 points · 11 months ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.

Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking

amylin receptor distribution is different from GLP-1

comment on three years of REDEFINE threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/cagrilintide · 8 points · 1 year ago
long-acting amylin is co-agonism, different satiety profile

bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
comment on anyone else notice units kicking in around week 20 in c/reconstitution · 43 points · 1 year ago
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 16
comment on [Question] the UK — has anyone got a straight answer on bacteriostatic water in c/reconstitution · 6 points · 1 year ago
What was the vial size and how much bac water?
comment on stalled for 18 weeks at 1.0mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/cagrilintide · 66 points · 1 year ago
Disagree.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 54 weeks to accept.
comment on small win: REDEFINE stopped being a problem at week 21 in c/cagrilintide · 13 points · 1 year ago

comment on genuine question about bacteriostatic water that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/reconstitution · 392 points · 1 year ago
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
comment on switched from 0.25mg to 15mg and the injection-site soreness got better, not worse in c/reconstitution · 45 points · 1 year ago

comment on [Question] how do you actually verify concentration in c/reconstitution · 22 points · 2 years ago
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
Disagree on that part. 99.3% and 93.7% on the same vial is normal.
