mcg is a disreputable unit of measure. It means microgram - though deciphering the letters may not give you that. ugis a better abbreviation, with less chance of misunderstanding.
But to the question - it all depends upon the concentration of the insulin in the solution. For cc (a.k.a. ml) is a unit of volume.

Does 1 cc equal 1 mcg?
No. A microgram is a measure of mass. A cubic centimetre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a cubic centimetre of air. How many micrograms? Next consider a cubic centimetre of lead. How many micrograms?
How many mcgs are there in a mg?
mcg is an abbreviation of microgram, so 1 mg = 1000 microgram = 1000 mcg.
How many milligrams are in 5000 mcg?
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 5000 mcg = 5000/1000 = 5 mg. Simple!
How many mg are in 10000 mcg?
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 10000 mcg = 10000/1000 = 10 mg. Simple!
How many micrograms equals 0.0015 mg?
1 mg = 1000 mcg so 0.0015 mg = 1.5 mcg
How many cc's in 1 unit of insulin?
1 cc=100 units of Insulin so, 1 unit=0.01 cc Insulin
How many cc in 10 units of insulin?
There are 100 units in a CC. 1 CC = 1 mL So, 5 units is 5/100 (1/20, .05) of a CC.
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.
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.
Is cc and mcg the same thing?
No, they're completely different units. 1 cc (cubic centimeter) = 1 cm^3 (cubic centimeter) (these are units of volume) 1 mcg (microgram) = 0.001 mg (milligram) (these are units of mass) Here's a way to compare them: 1 cc of water has a mass of about 1 gram, or 1000000 micrograms.
1 mcg is how many mg?
1000 mcg = 1 mg Thus 1 mcg = 0.001 mg
How many mcg 1 mg?
1 microgram (mcg) is 1/1000mg or 0.001mg
How many 2.4 mcg are in a mg?
2.4 mcg = 0.0024 mg Each 1 mcg = 1/1000 of a mg
Does 1 cc equal 1 mcg?
No. A microgram is a measure of mass. A cubic centimetre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a cubic centimetre of air. How many micrograms? Next consider a cubic centimetre of lead. How many micrograms?
How many mcg does it take to make 1 gram?
There are 1,000 micrograms (mcg) in 1 gram.
How many mcg are equal to mg?
1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg
How many mg equals mcg?
1000 mcg equals 1 mg.
