Yes! Insulin is measured in UNITS, not ml. For U-100 concentrated insulin (which is typical), 1 ml of insulin is 100 units.
And a typical human dose of insulin is between 5 and 30 units, well under half a ml.
If you're actually giving millilitres of insulin, you are using the wrong kind of syringe and will likely kill someone.

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.
If you use a 1 ml insulin syringe how many units would you draw up?
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.

How many units of insulin are in a mililiter?
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.
Administer 40 units of Insulin U-100 How many ml?
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
