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.
Insulin is packaged in different strengths, U-60 and U-100 are the most common and are the number of units per cc. You have to know if you are using a U-100 syringe. If you are, then 100 units = 1cc = 1 mL. BUT, for any other strength insulin, this relationship is not true. The syringe should be marked with what strength insulin it is intended to be used with. There are also low dose syringes that hold less than 100 units but are used with U-100 insulin.
