Well Eddy,
If you want to do this, I see 2 items to solve right away:
1) where will you store the diluted insulin?
2) what will you dilute it with?
Sterilization being key to both of those, can you get sterile saline or water to dilute and which is better? If saline, what concentration of saline is right? You could pre-draw syringes but air & mixing might be problems. Maybe insulin producers offer an already diluted version.
Rather than dilution, maybe you could find small dose syringes that would make .05 unit gradations possible. I'm guessing that might be easiest.
Mike
