You have a 3ml syringe and need to give 0.05cc of insulin How much do i draw up in units?
only use a insulin syringe for insulin. insulin MUST be correct.
How do you measure .25ml on a 3ml syringe?
It is much easier to just use a insulin syringe and withdraw to .21/2 or .2 and 5 small lines
If using a tuberculin syringe instead of insulin syringe-how much insulin should i draw up?
Do not use a TB syringe for your insulin. The standard these days is for insulin to be 100 units per mL, which would seem to measure the same, but the syringes are calibrated differently and they are not always equivalent. There's a high likelihood you'll take too much or too little, and this deficit or excess can really add up if you're taking insulin a few times per day. If you're not sure, take your insulin and your syringes to your doctor, a local urgent care, or maybe a pharmacy and get help from a professional; it's too easy to overdose or underdose if you don't understand your medication.
30 unit of 40 iu insulin is equal to how much unit of 100 iu insulin?
IU is international units and it's same whether it's of 40 IU or 100 IU insulin. But one is supposed to use 40 iu syringe for 40 IU and 100 IU syringe for 100 IU insulin. You take 30 units in corresponding syringe, dose is gonna remain same. If you interchange the syringe then things get complicated and need to do some math. So for 30 units of 40 IU insulin and want to use 100 IU/ml syringe then you need to use 75 units of 40 IU in 100 IU syringe. Avoid interchange of syringe to be safe.
How many ML are in one IU of insulin?
The standard insulin syringe is a total of 1 ml ( 1 cc), but if you are not sure ask someone who can tell you. Too much insulin can be fatal.
What is the difference between a tuberculin syringe and an insulin syringe -?
They are made for administration of specific measurements of either insulin or the antigen for TB testing called PPD (Purified Protein Derivative). Both types of syringes are calibrated into "units". Unit measurements are fixed measures but specific to each type of medicine/solution as to their volume. A unit of insulin is not the same thing as a unit of TB antigen, so the TB syringe can not be used in the place of an insulin syringe. Insulin is administered with the insulin syringe "subcutaneously" (under the skin) in the subcutaneous (sub Q) tissue. The needle is slightly longer than that on a TB syringe. The antigen solution is administered in the TB test "intradermally" (within the skin/between the layers of the skin) instead of under the skin, so the needle is shorter. The amount of liquid in a dose of TB antigen is much smaller than the amount usually given of insulin. Therefore, the barrel of the TB syringe is smaller in diameter to allow such very small amounts (drops) of antigen to be measured. In addition, insulin syringes come in two scales of measurement: U-100 and U-40. This on the label of the syringes indicates which type of insulin they are made to measure and administer. The insulin vial will also be marked either "U-100" or "U-40". One strength is 100 units of insulin per mL and the other is 40 units of insulin per mL. A different insulin syringe is need to measure U-100 than the type used to measure U-40. Unit calibration on the syringe used must be matched to the "strength" of the insulin being used. U-100 insulin has 1/100 of a mL volume per unit (equal also to 1/100 of a cc). U-40 insulin has 1/40 of a mL volume per unit.
How much of the shot are you supposed to give them?
Assuming you got the syringe from the veterinarian, all of it.
Does insulin decrese blood glucose or blood pressure?
yes, it does!! BUT depending on how much insulin you give, it can still remain high, OR if you give too much it can go low :( and that's not fun AT ALL!!

Insulin syringe says 5cc you need 1ml how much should you use?
CC stands for cubic centimeters. ML stands for Milliliters. One cc is equal to one ml. So, if you need 1ml you can use 1cc or 1/5 of a 5cc syringe.
How much insulin would you need for a bag of popcorn?
That is hard to say here, it very much depends on the type of insulin you are taking. Ask your doctor whenever you have a chance, as using the wrong amount of insulin would be hazardous.
How much is 0.15 in a u-100 syringe?
how much is 0.15 in a 1.0 syringe
