[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 267917, member: 16042"] The size of the syringe is not pertinent. U-40 is U-40 when it comes to the markings on the syringe. Whether the syringe is .3ml or .5ml or 1ml, if the scale is graduated as U-40, a U-40 unit is still a U-40 unit. From that web page: [I][B]"NEVER dose U100 insulin using U40 syringes – you will be dosing your cat 2.5x more insulin than you think and will be putting your cat in danger."[/B][/I] Or to rephrase: U-40 units are 2.5 times more volume than U-100 units. Please confirm your dose of T in mg... is it 30mg? If so, to me the logic is to calculate the dose for U=100. then divide that number by 2.5 for correct dose in U-40 units. So if your T is 250mg/ml, then 30mg is .12ml With U-100, that is 12 units Divide by 2.5 is 4.8 u-40 units. So looks like we have reached the same answer using slightly different math method. So yes, you would draw to just below the 5 unit mark in this pic: [IMG]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/data/attachments/37/37393-89a26a55ba306b1445eec5ce87c93834.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
