Can I use bw to dilute slin???

[Juice Freak]

I'm a very experienced user with slin and have used it for years, I'm currently helping out a newbie with his slin journey and have got his b/g levels checked so I'm not worried about that. Is there anyway I can dilute the slin to so that I can draw a larger amount of volume to get a more accurate slin reading?? Was thinking bacterosatic water??? It would make it easier for him since I'm starting him off very slowly and constantly checking his blood glucose level to see how he reacts, thanks for you help.

i dont see why not.. but i also dont see the point of doing this..

are you a member at OLM? some dude just posted the same question.

I dont think it would matter, but why? it would make greater chances of making a mistake

Why not use 0.5cc syringe? Those seem to work easily.

For a very experienced user, this is a pretty strange question... I agree with bowlcut... INSULIN ALWAYS HAS TO BE PRECISE... especially for diabetics... thats why they make the different sized syringes for it....

Yes you could, but like most other members, I fail to see the point. Just use a more precise syringe.

I am not an experienced user of insulin, as a matter of fact I plan on using this year for the first time.
In all my research I fail to see why an "experienced user" would even consider this for a new user he is setting up????
Sorry dude, but if you were advising me I would drop your services tickity boo. JM2C

Just use a 3/10ml pin which has half unit markings. Can't really ask to be more precise than that!

[Realist]

Yes-but unless you hold a Chemistry Degree or am a Pharmacist I wouldn't regardless of your level of experience for a multiple of reasons.
Remember, safety first and you don't want to be messing around with slin.

Just my 2 cents.

Use a smaller volume slin pin...simple!
