How to convert 12 units of insulin and 22 units of insulin to ml and cc?
Question:
Answers:
Specific insulin formulations must be administered with the appropriate insulin syringe which matches the concentration of insulin used. The concentration of any particular formulation is marked on the vial as U-100 (100 units per milliliter), U-40 (40 units per milliliter), etc.
An ml and a cc are the same thing.
Insulin should be given as units only...
Do not over give insulin, as it will drop yourt glucose too low possibly even kill u..
For normal insulin used in the uk, 12u = 0.12ml/cc and 24u = 0.24ml/cc. We changed over to this concentration quite a long time ago, but some countries (eg India i think) still use a diff concentration of insulin which would obiously give a diff amount.
a unit is usually eqivilant to a 1/100 of a cc on the 100u syringes. so 1 unit=.1 cc.5u=.5cc..12u=.12cc. cc is the same as ml.
you can see on the needle its measured and go for 12 units it is right there lines to be followed and count. same thing for 22 units measure from 20 would be two small lines more. that is all
