[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1081252, member: 140811"] For me, the numbers don't add up:- [B]ISO Constants:-[/B] 1 ppm = 1mg/L 1L = 1000mL 1mL = 100 units (insulin) [B]By calculation:-[/B] 20units of insulin is therefore 0.2mL 300ppm = 300mg/L (So you'd need to inject a litre of insulin to reach this level at the stated concentration). [B]Therefore:-[/B] To inject a litre of insulin in increments 20units would require (1000/0.2 mL) 5000 injections. I don't see this as a daily regime but I'm happy to be proved wrong...................... [/QUOTE]
