2ml or 3ml?

[skeptick]

Even their 15mg is .5ml?

yep

Here's a kindly hint: There's a difference between 30g and 31 gage needles. (Even for a sasquatch) I can't even feel a 31g needle. 😇

I actually got 32g 4mm ones bc Im that much of a baby. I finally did it & didn't feel it (with help). I applied lidocane 2x about 45min before, then I iced for about 30min, then I put on headphones with music, I pinched with nails to get a sensation from that & got help doing the pen so I could think of something else. What a relief, ha ha!! Just had a small dot of blood & was there last night. That didn't bother me though. Thank you for all the advice!! 🙂

Get 31g needles like @Sasquatch said

Ended up doing 2ml in the 30mg (tests showed 34, 34, 37) so I went with it being 34 & did 6 units (to keep the smaller volume amount). 32g 4mm so the smallest I could find, ha ha. Thank you!! 🙂

I used this as my calc & its for a pen https://btpepcalc.com/ thats how the needles are so thin & small & dial up in the pen is different. I don't want to confuse anyone new either. I calculated several times on different calculators & AI to triple check.

Each 0.10 ml of solutition marked on the body of the syringe (one unit) provides 1 mg. I am still taking 2 mg tirz twice weekly so I use 0.5 ml syringes for greater accuracy. I was a chemist during my work life and am comfortable with the metric system and making dilutions. I don't know if these dilutions sounds simple to others or not.

I don't want to be pedantic, but I don't want any newbies reading through this quickly and making a mistake of an order of magnitude .

Assuming you are using 'standard' U100 syringes, 0.1ml (and 1mg, at your concentration) would be 10 units, not 1.

Keep it as simple as possible and do 3ml of water for 30 mg so 10 units = 1mg. Also, use Hospira brand Bac water. You’ll see discussions about that here. Personally I only use Hospira. Once you are used to that ratio maybe do 1.5 ml

dumb question. For glp-1 are you using 1/2 inch or 5/16 inch needles?

It's hard to find anything but 5/16 (8mm) x 31gage syringes.

Of course I edited above to add

Using a pen 32g 4mm (thinner & shortest option I found)
