    Hey all! So I had gotten a handful of U100 syringes from my vet while I waited for my order to come in (they had the 1 unit markings). When it arrived, the markings on the sides are by 2's instead of 1's. Can someone point me the distinguishing feature to order with so I can get these. Now I've got a pile of U40's for full units and U100's that are good but I have to eyeball the single units(when I'd like to be eyeballing the 1/2 units.) I guess it would be too much to ask for Ari to go with whole unit numbers for a while ohmygod_smile

    You probably have 1 cc syringes> They hold 100 units of U100 insulin and are marked every 2 units. You want 3/10 cc U100 syringes with 1/2 unit markings. Not all 3/10 cc syringes have 1/2 unit marking.

    1cc for 100 units or less

    Thanks Larry. Heading back out to make another order. Wish they sold them OTC here in FL.
