injection question

[Mooseman33]

stupid question guys, im going to take 2 iu 5 days a week, however the pins i have are for insulin and meaure in units, so would it be 20 units equals 2 ius?
please respond and thanks in advance

how many iu in the vial and how much liquid did you use?

[Mooseman33]

8 iu in each vial.injected 1 cc of bact water in vial..

8 iu in each vial.injected 1 cc of bact water in vial..

the 100 unit mark would be 8iu's

8 iu in each vial.injected 1 cc of bact water in vial..

when using 1mL for 8iu....each '10' mark on the insulin pin is 0.8iu

so you wanna shoot at the '25' mark or half way between 10 & 20 (depending on what type of slin pin you are using)...that will be 2iu

when using 8iu vials, use 0.8mL of bact water next time to keep it much easier....that way, every '10' mark is simply 1iu and you will just need to shoot an even '20' to get 2iu

good luck
