How to convert 12 unit of insulin and 22 unit of insulin to ml and cc?


so how many ml and cc is 12 unit of insulin? how many ml and cc is 22 unit of insulin?

Answers:
Specific insulin formulations must be administered with the appropriate insulin syringe which match the concentration of insulin used. The concentration of any particular formulation is flecked on the vial as U-100 (100 units per milliliter), U-40 (40 unit per milliliter), etc.
An ml and a cc are the same piece.

Insulin should be given as units individual...

Do not over give insulin, as it will drop yourt glucose too low possibly even slay u..
For normal insulin used within the uk, 12u = 0.12ml/cc and 24u = 0.24ml/cc. We changed over to this concentration quite a long time ago, but some countries (eg India i think) still use a diff concentration of insulin which would obiously afford a diff amount.
a unit is usually eqivilant to a 1/100 of a cc on the 100u syringes. so 1 unit=.1 cc.5u=.5cc..12u=.12cc. cc is indistinguishable as ml.
you can see on the needle its measured and budge for 12 units it is right in that lines to be followed and count. same thing for 22 unit measure from 20 would be two small lines more. that is to say all
