First of all, how many IU's per bottle?

100 units per ML 10 ML bottle. so 1000 ius

That don't sound right. You are saying 100 units per cc(ml is the same)? If it is generic and you got 100units, they normally come in 10 bottles at 10 iu per bottle. So, tell me the total units you purchase and how many bottles.

Wrong Advice, see below for better.

Stupid me, I though you were talking about GH Insulin at 100 iu I would mix 10cc of solution. You would have 10 slin pins filled Each slin pin would be 10 iu's, so 20 on each slin pin is 2 iu. Please make sure you have the right amount, You can die! Also make sure you have dextrose or glucose on hand. I hope you know what you are doing, slin is dangerous.

Thank you Yes i have all and follow carb/sugar/protein protocol.
Just needed sec oppinion on IU's to make sure

You do know that insulin offset is 30 minutes and peaks at 2.5 - 5 hours and duration is 8 hours?

Yes. This is the only one i could get it.
I took first time yesterday and had no problems. Took 20 on slin pin , same as you said. But someone told me that was wrong so i needed sec opinion

i'm diabetic...100 units per ml. 10 ml bottle has 1000 units.
On a insulin syringe, 2 ticks is 2 IU. 20 is 20 iu not 2iu like posted above.
Thats can be a life and death mistake when using a log insulin. If you take 20 units and only think you're geting 2 iu... YOU BETTER BE READY WHEN IT KICKS IN!!!. 2iu isn't going to hurt much, with 20 iu you can really cause yourself some problems.

 

[aj1]

each ml which is one fully loaded insulin syringe has 100 units...hence 20 is 20iu.

Yikes, thats 20 IU. How did you feel afterward? You probably went hypo if you didnt eat enough after taking that. Going hypo is a feeling you will never forget.

Umm i was just thinking, i didnt feel anything. I felt my mouth getting dry and thats about it. But i did have lots of carbs and sugars and was eating all day long as i was scared.
Damn

Thanks aj1 for clarifying.

Thanks aj1 for clarifying.

He is right. They calibrated those slin pins to make it easy for people to use. 1 mark on the pin is equal to 1 IU. Its when you use GH that it gets a little tricky.

 

[Dado5]

All right. I am very impressed with slin so far, im 6 days on at 5 ius and get crazy pumps at the gym. also im 5lbs up due to eating all the time
I take it in mid day as i train late at night and cant take NovolinR that late and go to bed sleep.
