The amount of insulin considered "too much" varies by individual and depends on factors such as body weight, insulin sensitivity, and dietary intake. Generally, people with type 1 Diabetes may use 0.5 to 1.0 units of insulin per kilogram of body weight per day, while those with type 2 diabetes may require less. Consistently high doses can lead to hypoglycemia and other complications, so it's essential to monitor blood sugar levels and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. Always adjust insulin under medical supervision to ensure safe and effective management.

If using a tuberculin syringe instead of insulin syringe-how much insulin should i draw up?

When using a tuberculin syringe instead of an insulin syringe, it's important to note the differences in their measurements. A tuberculin syringe is calibrated in tenths of a milliliter (0.1 ml), while an insulin syringe is calibrated in units. To convert units of insulin to milliliters, you need to know the concentration of your insulin (typically 100 units per 1 ml). So, if you need to draw up 10 units of insulin with a tuberculin syringe, you would draw up 0.1 ml of insulin.
