If you have to inject at a different time of day than usual, that is a much smaller perturbation than it feels for a weekly compound with a week-long half-life.
The conclusion is tentative; the arithmetic underneath it is not.
Post #7 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition.
If you have to inject at a different time of day than usual, that is a much smaller perturbation than it feels for a weekly compound with a week-long half-life.
It is the kind of thing that is obvious once and never again.
If you have to inject at a different time of day than usual, that is a much smaller perturbation than it feels for a weekly compound with a week-long half-life.
Pinch or no pinch: the decision depends on needle length and on your own anatomy. A longer needle (8 mm and up) reaches subcutaneous tissue easily without a pinch. A shorter needle (4-6 mm) is safer with a gentle pinch. The pinch size matters less than people think; the injection angle matters more.
Where I part company with post #23, and it is a narrow parting.
