Re: beyond confused on dosage/insulin needle

[Guest guest]

1 ml = 1 cc,

so .25 ml = .25 cc

Thanks Barb..I really appreciate it. Thats what I was going to go with, but was

confused as others mix with more water, apparently.

25 units on an insulin syringe = 250iu when you are using a 1000iu/ml mix. 25

units = .25cc

Clint,

Your right because mls are the same as cc's so .25mls is the same as .25cc and

this is 250 IU's.

You mixed up 5,000 IU's in a 5ml vial this is = to 5cc vial and 1000 IU's/ ml or

cc.
