Actually, it's a little more. Just do the math, for every 10 units on the insulin syringe is 1/10th of a cc. So 40 units is almost 1/2 cc. Why, do you plan on injecting 1/4 cc of insulin?
wait a minute wouldnt 4 IU's be like 1/25th of a cc. As far as i understand it 100 IUs make up a cc correct????? this would also go along with what was previously stated that 40 IU's is almost half a cc. In that case you want to take 25 IU's.
18IU of serostim = 1cc. If a 1cc slin pin pin has 100 units on it then 100 divide by 18 = 5.5units per IU. If you want to take 4 IU's then it would be 22 units or just shy of 1/4 cc.
dam, can we just al come to a general consensus allready about what 1/4th orf a cc is on a insulin syrancge.....sooo is it 25IU or 4IU~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~??????????????

Its not about a general concensus, it simply basic damn math.
if you have a vial of serostim that is 18iu that is a given no need for consensus. Then you have a slin pin that is 1cc which is equal to 100 units, once again no need for a consensus it is a given fact. If you reconstitute a vial of 18IU serostim with 1cc of water you will have 1cc final solution that contains 18IU dissoved serostim, once again a give, no need for consensus. Knowing those facts do the math, its not like we are launching the shuttle here.
18IU = 1cc
slin pin = 1cc which is 100 units on slin pin
100units/18IU = 5.5units which means that 5.5units on the slin pin will be 1IU if you want to take 4IU then 4IU x 5.5units = 22 units
25 units on the insulin pin will give you one fourth cc of any liquid, regardless of what it is. Mg and iu concentrations will vary depending on the substance.
