How many syllables are in the word insulin?
The word insulin has three syllables. (in-su-lin)
How are bacteria used to treat people with diabetes?
bacteria itself is not the treatment. we use the bacteria to produce insulin, we do so by inserting the gene into their plasmids and trigger them to produce the insulin. the insulin is extracted and used.
How do you convert units to cc?
It depends on the type of insulin being used: For 100U insulin, 1 unit = 1/100 or 0.01 cc. For 40U insulin, 1 unit = 1/40 or 0.025 cc.
What are the names of regular insulin?
There are several different names for regular insulin, depending on the maker. The one constant is that all of them contain the letter "R" for "regular," in their name. For instance, one maker of insulin called all their insulins Novolin. The "regular" insulin is "Novolin R," their NPH is called "Novolin N," etc.
How many cc does a insulen needle hold?
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
