Default What Are Units on an Insulin Syringe?
i am desperately trying to figure out how to dind my dosage and how much to inject and how much to mix...and one of the things i need to know is if im gonna do 200iu, or even 175iu or 150iu, how do you measure that on an insulin syringe that only has units on it, starting at 10-100? i found this on here:
Water
1,500 IU - 5 ml bac water
2,000 IU - 7 ml bac water
5,000 IU - 19 ml bac water
10,000 IU - 39 ml bac water

Dose
125 IU dose = .50 ml, or 50 on an insulin needle
150 IU dose = .60 ml, or 60 on an insulin needle
175 IU dose = .70 ml, or 70 on an insulin needle
200 IU dose = .80 ml, or 80 on an insulin needle

but im not sure how many units that is because if i actually did 50 units, thats like almost half of the syringe....surely that cant be right....someone know how much i inject of the units??
