The same way you read ANY syringe. From www.wikipedia.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringes), if you click on the image of the 10ml syringe, you'll see the markings on the barrel.

Standard safety procedures surrounding the use of a syringe should always be followed, and in no way is this short answer a full and complete explanation of how to correctly/safely use a syringe.

Insulin should not be measured in a 1ml syringe, as it is typically administered in smaller doses that are more accurately measured in insulin-specific syringes or insulin pens. Using a 1ml syringe can lead to dosing errors due to the larger increments and potential for misinterpretation. Insulin syringes are designed for precision with smaller units (e.g., 0.1ml or 0.5ml), making them more suitable for accurate insulin dosing. Always use the appropriate syringe designed for insulin to ensure safe and effective administration.
