Its a lil weird:

thanks thats a big help
only i am not haveing any luck
as now i have come to realise i have a pen that's not working proper lol
on the plus side a can still use it to mix the genotropins as for some resion it only kicks up to 0.4
so now i need to use a 1ml u-100 insulin pin
so if there is 1ml in the genotropin when mixd can i just check? at Mathis is not my strong point far from it lol
but her i go if i have 20 uits in the pin
thats as close to 3ius i am going to get

It says the pen has 16 ius. So whatever you draw out with your pin divide by 16 and that will be 1 iu. What color is the tip, green (15iu\ml) 6.66units on slin if full 1 ml = 1iu, or purple (36iu\ml) 2.77units on slin pin if full 1 ml = 1iu approx?
