What would be the dose of insulin in ml, if 24 units of insulin is given using U-40/ml insulin? Correct Answer 0.6 ml
Concept:
- Insulin: it is a hormone secreted by the pancreatic beta cells that facilitate the uptake of glucose into skeletal muscle and adipose tissue by increasing the number of glucose transporters that facilitate glucose diffusion into these targeted cells.
- When the body can’t make enough insulin on its own then doctors use insulin injection.
Explanation:
- Calculation of U-40/ml insulin from units to ml
- Conversion from Units to ml = Number of Units/Strength of Insulin
- Given,
- Units = 24
- Strength = 40/ml
- The dose of insulin in ml = 24/40 = 0.6 ml
