Start small and add more after its expanded for a few hours. 250ml will grow more than you'll expect. My last infusion was 300ml of 10% and it ended up being bigger than one liter of regular saline.

Re: need advice
Yes, you can. But be careful. 500 ml of 10 % will cause a 2.000 ml swelling. The injection side may be irritated by this rather high sugar concentration. I tried this, it is more painful than saline. If you've already infused 1.000 ml saline the irritation may be tolerable.

Re: need advice
I personally wouldn't top off with that. I start with glucose and top off with saline. That way if I underestimate the swell I'm not putting it in when I'm already bigger than normal. If you do decide to use the 10% as a top off I definitely wouldn't use any more than half of the bag.

Re: need advice
I've found that glucose is actually less painful for me. No stinging going in at all, whereas saline stings just a little bit. That's part of the problem for me though. Since there is no pain at all going in its really easy to infuse too much without realizing it before the swell starts.

Re: need advice
I did 2l of saline it was.. well saline is kind of annoying for me.. I feel it all the time.. as it is infusing.
When I do glucose.. I feel nothing...
My next will be 10% 500ml too waiting for right moment.
