An iu, or international unit, is a measure of "how much active ingredient there is per mil". As such, it can not be converted into mils because it is not a liquid measurement, it is a drug measurement (for measuring tiny amounts).

IU stands for Internation Unit, which is a unit of measurement. However it is based on the affect not a actual measurement. It is commonly used in pharmacy for some medication, vaccines, vitamins and hormones. The amount of the IU is regulated by an internation agreement for each substance. It is monitored by the Committee on Biological Standardization of the World Health Organization. The thing to remember is that 1 IU of vitamin B is not going to be the same as 1 IU of vitamin E.

What does iu mean in measurement?

IU= international unit. This is a unit used to measure the activity (that is, the effect) of many vitamins and drugs. For each substance to which this unit applies, there is an international agreement specifying the biological effect expected with a dose of 1 IU. Other quantities of the substance are then expressed as multiples of this standard. This also means that this measurment is not based on sheer volume or weight of the substance, but rather the effect.

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.
