What is a unit on a syringe?
Insulin Syringes
It is essential to know the difference, as the “unit” on each type of syringe is different. The concentration of the insulin corresponds with the type of syringe to use – the concentration is always listed on the bottle. U-100 syringes – most common. 100 units = 1 mL; 1 unit = 0.01 mL.

How much is 1 unit of insulin in a syringe?
0.3 mL syringes are for insulin doses under 30 units of insulin and are numbered at 1-unit intervals. 0.5 mL syringes are for 30 to 50 units of insulin and are numbered at 1-unit intervals. 1.0 mL are for doses more than 50 units of insulin and are numbered at 2 units per interval.
Syringes come in different sizes. Each line on a 100-unit syringe marks 2 units of insulin. Each line on a 50-unit or 30-unit syringe marks 1 unit of insulin. Use a syringe large enough to hold the whole dose of insulin.
