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.

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 is the difference between a tuberculin syringe and an insulin syringe -?

They are made for administration of specific measurements of either insulin or the antigen for TB testing called PPD (Purified Protein Derivative). Both types of syringes are calibrated into "units". Unit measurements are fixed measures but specific to each type of medicine/solution as to their volume. A unit of insulin is not the same thing as a unit of TB antigen, so the TB syringe can not be used in the place of an insulin syringe. Insulin is administered with the insulin syringe "subcutaneously" (under the skin) in the subcutaneous (sub Q) tissue. The needle is slightly longer than that on a TB syringe. The antigen solution is administered in the TB test "intradermally" (within the skin/between the layers of the skin) instead of under the skin, so the needle is shorter. The amount of liquid in a dose of TB antigen is much smaller than the amount usually given of insulin. Therefore, the barrel of the TB syringe is smaller in diameter to allow such very small amounts (drops) of antigen to be measured. In addition, insulin syringes come in two scales of measurement: U-100 and U-40. This on the label of the syringes indicates which type of insulin they are made to measure and administer. The insulin vial will also be marked either "U-100" or "U-40". One strength is 100 units of insulin per mL and the other is 40 units of insulin per mL. A different insulin syringe is need to measure U-100 than the type used to measure U-40. Unit calibration on the syringe used must be matched to the "strength" of the insulin being used. U-100 insulin has 1/100 of a mL volume per unit (equal also to 1/100 of a cc). U-40 insulin has 1/40 of a mL volume per unit.


How much units is 0.125ml in a 100 unit syringe?

To determine how much 0.125 mL is in a 100 unit syringe, you can use the following calculation: (0.125 mL / 100 units) * 100 units = 0.125 units So, 0.125 mL is equal to 0.125 units in a 100 unit syringe.


How much is 1000ml on a u-100 unit syringe?

A U-100 insulin syringe is calibrated for units of insulin, where U-100 means there are 100 units of insulin per milliliter. Therefore, 1000 ml would be equivalent to 100,000 units. However, it's important to note that a U-100 syringe typically holds only 1 ml of liquid, making it impractical for measuring such a large volume.
