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.
Example Type I Diabetes patient weighs 110 kg and uses ~35 total units of Insulin per day (0.3 units/kg) One unit Insulin covers 500/35 or 14 g carbohydrates. One unit Insulin would be expected to lower Glucose 1800/35 or 50 mg/dl (in Type I Diabetes Mellitus) Lantus: Takes 18 units of Lantus per day.
