I've been exploring ways to reduce the number of injections I need to take. There seem to be two approaches: backloading and pre-mixing. Backloading is where you fill up a syringe from the back with your doses of individual peptides, and pre-mixing is where you mix the right amounts of the various peptides into a single vial and take your combined dose from that. Does anyone have experience with doing these? Would love to learn some best practices. Note that I'm aware that not all peptides (and especially not GLP-1s) can be mixed together. I'd only be mixing the ones that are known to be ok to mix.
I've tried backloading a couple of times now, and while I like that I can prep several days' worth of injections all at once and I only have to take a single injection to get my daily dose of peptides, I find the backloading process frustrating as it's hard to get the bubbles in the backloaded syringe to consolidate and rise to the top of the tiny insulin syringes. Is there a best way to do this?
I haven't tried pre-mixing vials yet - I need to do the math to figure out what the right amounts are and possibly pick up some larger capacity vials to use. Would love to hear any tips folks have for this too though. Thanks!
