One Unit of Insulin

One Unit of Insulin, we can be sure, contains 1/22 milligrams of biologically-active insulin. Beyond that, other factors may apply; for instance, the suspension (fluid) in which this one unit is dissolved.

DISCLAIMER: Contents on Vekkie's Playground are almost entirely fantasy. Do NOT try to make your own insulin. Obtain what your veterinarian prescribes for your animal, and use that. For any questions about insulin or its measurement and dosage, consult your veterinarian. And do not try swinging from clocks.
