    Could someone provide the instructions for measuring one drop? I know I’ve seen them somewhere but cannot find them. Thanks!

    One of the easiest ways is to just push the plunger into the syringe HARD before putting it into the insulin and then just "let go"

    There's a little vacuum that will suck a tiny bit up into the needle.

    Or you can experiment with your syringes and learn to count drops. Pull up a "known amount"....then slowly twist the plunger to produce the same size drops and count how many you get. (example....in .25 unit, you can get 3 same-sized drops)….so if you want 1 drop, you'd pull up .25 and waste 2 drops
