This is not always the same! Most insulin sold for humans is concentrated at 100 units per ml (U100 insulin). But some insulin is not.
In the case of U100 insulin, however,
1 cc equals 1ml equals 100 units
so
40 units equals 0.4ml
I think that you are referring to the insulin syringe,not the needle. The standard insulin syringe holds one cc, divided into 100ths, which is equal to one UNIT of insulin. It is imperative that you are using a U100 insulin solution with a U100 syringe. If you don't, the incorrect dosage could be catastrophic. There are some smaller insulin syringes that only hold 0.5 cc (making them half the size of the 1cc). They are STILL marked properly for U100 insulin even though they are smaller in size. Hope that this helps!!clkfrau1@aol.com
You cannot make a direct conversion of insulin IU to ml. It depends on the concentration of insulin in the vial you are using. One commonly used concentration is 100 IU/ml, (sometimes called "U100") but this is NOT true for all insulin. If the concentration is 100 IU/ml, then each ml contains 100 IU and the conversion is 100 units = 1 ml.
In a 1 mL insulin syringe, the markings typically represent units of insulin, not milliliters. The number of units you would draw up in a 1 mL insulin syringe depends on the concentration of the insulin you are using. Common insulin concentrations are 100 units/mL and 50 units/mL. If you are using insulin with a concentration of 100 units/mL and you want to draw up a certain number of units, you simply draw up that number of units on the syringe. For example, if you want to draw up 10 units of insulin, you would fill the syringe to the 10 unit mark on the syringe. If you are using insulin with a concentration of 50 units/mL, then each unit on the syringe represents 2 units of insulin. So, to draw up 10 units of insulin in this case, you would fill the syringe to the 5 unit mark. Always make sure to use the correct insulin concentration and syringe to accurately measure and administer your insulin dose. If you are unsure about the concentration or how to use the syringe, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for guidance.
1000 units

Generally 1000 units. This goes for humalog and lantus.
Don't increase your insulin intake without talking to your doctor.
No, absolutely not! A PCA may remind the client it is time for their meds and may even bring the meds to the client. But a PCA is not trained to administer medication of any kind!
There are 100 units in a CC. 1 CC = 1 mL So, 5 units is 5/100 (1/20, .05) of a CC.
It depends on what kind of insulin you are taking....for example: insulin can be rapid acting, short acting, intermediate acting or long acting.
We cannot answer because we don't know what units you are talking about -- do you mean quarts, units of blood, units of insulin ... what? Please rewrite the question to say what units you want to know about.
