Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Pat, I just have a question about the GH units ... I just want to make sure that what I think you are talking about is so... I have 1 cc insulin syringes and Noah gets 18 units out of the possible 100 on that syringe ... is that what you are talking about? Only in Bran's case he gets 10.?
