How to read the SS-31 dosing chart

Choose the column matching your vial and the water you added, such as 10 mg with 2 mL. Then go down to your dose. On a U-100 insulin syringe, the cell shows how many units to draw. When your water amount isn't listed, the calculator calculates the units for any amount.
