Something to think about when diluting insulin. When you buy empty, sterile vials to dilute into they will always have a little liquid inside left behind from the sterilization process. It's completely normal and not harmful.
But the point of diluting is to be able to do corrections with as much accuracy and consistency as possible, right? For this reason, I always draw out the sterilization liquid before I dilute. Sometimes I get very little out (usually just a few units), but today I just drew out 18u of that liquid. 😲
While I don't know that this would have made a huge difference had I not removed it, I'd rather not find out. 😉
