reading an insulin pin

[goodguy19064]

this is probably a dumb question but if you are taking 5 ius of insulin or hgh you goto the 5 mark in the insulin pin right?

It depends on how you have it reconstituted. Meaning how much water.

For GH, if it is a 10 iu vial, use 1 ml of BAC water to reconstitute. Then on a 1 cc insulin needle, the 5 mark (half full barrel) would be 5 iu.

Never a dumb question. Better to have the math right than to not knowing what you’re injecting and die... or worse.

All you need to know right here.

Not all vials are 10iu. That is important too.
