convertimate Insulin dose

Units to milliliters

Type a value in U to get it in mL instantly.

0.2mL

That's about the same as a basal dose. Information only: always follow the prescription and use a matching syringe.

What it means

How much is that?

Information only, not medical advice. Insulin syringes are marked in units for a specific strength — never measure a concentrated insulin in a U-100 syringe.

The math

How to convert U to mL

Volume depends on the strength: mL = units ÷ units per mL. The figures below use the strength selected above.

Example: 20 U = 0.2 mL.

The table below is for U-100 (100 units/mL).
