Measuring Dosage in Units
Verify Rx label to find out what the prescribed amount of units is, or refer to titration sheet when applicable.
Verify what size syringe was provided (30/50/100)
If dosage is written in milliliters, convert to units.
Conversion: 0.1mL = 10 units (1.0mL = 100 units)

On a side note, I want to apologize for all the "ums" - we aren't on camera often, and this isn't scripted. Anywho, the information is good, we hope this video helps clear up any questions you may have about this process, after a few times doing this it will become very easy and comfortable.
