What you are pulling into your syringe is correct. 100U of insulin is 1cc/1mL.

Don't *ever* count on an OTC cough syrup cup to be correct. OTC medication manufacturers get close to accurate with their cups, but they never are correct completely.

Insulin should only be used for 30 days, yes you may get 100 days' use out of it, but it won't be as effective after 30 days.
