Insulin goes metric: a time for reveiw.
For most diabetics, a concentration of 100 units of insulin per cc (U-100 insulin) is the simplest and safest concentration. It is compatible with the metric system and reduces the volume of the injection. The introduction of U-100 gives the nurse an opportunity, not only to review her own knowledge of insulin use in diabetes, but also to assess the diabetic individual's understanding of it.
