There exists several characteristics that make the difference between a mixture and a compound. A mixture can contain components in any proportions while a compound contains components in fixed proportions.
Best Answer: the longest you should use an open vial of insulin for is 30 days but you will have a 20 day supply per vial if you are using U-100 insulin. 1 cc equals 100 units so a 10 ml bottle contains 1000 units, at 48 units per day that will last you 20 days. not equivalent syringes. use only insulin syringe and read type/ strength of insulin. Too dangerous to discuss on yahoo. not equivalent to TB syringes either.
Re: Insulin units to ml. A dosing measure of insulin is always in units and should NEVER be converted to mL! There is a reason that the syringes are different. This is not a mathematical challenge, and trying to convert in such a fashion is foolish. Use insulin syringes for insulin, which is dosed in units. Use mL syringes for medications that are clearly dosed in mL. DO NOT (as the previous post stated) assume that 100units is 1cc. .......I'm using insulin syringes.
