It replaces the insulin your body cannot produce or does not produce enough of
Focus on how comfortable and stable you feel rather than obsessing over the number on the scale each week
Concentration accuracy is harder than it looks The 0.9% benzyl alcohol target is a narrow window with consequences on both sides: Too little benzyl alcohol (below ~0.5%) and the bacteriostatic effect weakens significantly, allowing bacterial growth in the multi-dose vial during the 28-day use window Too much benzyl alcohol (above ~2%) and tissue toxicity becomes a concern published research has documented injection site irritation, tissue damage, and in extreme concentrations, systemic toxicity from benzyl alcohol exposure For a 30 mL batch, the target benzyl alcohol volume is 0.27 mL roughly five drops from a standard dropper
Many clinicians extend this timeline, spending extra weeks at intermediate doses to minimize side effects
