ok I think I am right but I just wanted to make sure 100% cause this shit is no joke and I know that. ok I got my slin from WallyWorld for $17.89 and the pins 100ct for for like $16 so like $35 anyway, I am looking at the pins and wanted to make sure I had the measurement right. the pin is a U100 pin (1ml) 30g short pin. ok sorry if this seems stupid but I really want to do this right.

ok I am going to start buy taking 2IU's and increase it by 1 IU a day up to 10IU's. ok the pin is marked 10 20 30 and so on till 100, now am I to assume that each mark ie 10 20 30 represents an IU. like this 10 = 1 IU 20 = 2 IU's and so on ? or am I wrong ? if some one can help me out I would be really thankfull!

You said (seperate conversation) that your slin is 100iu/ml (the common types, from what I've read, are 40 and 100), and your pins are 100iu/ml pins, and it's marked up to 100.

What I THINK, is that the 10 is 10 iu's, not 1 iu like you say above... Someone else needs to verify this, though.

I think your right AL. 10 is 10 iu's.
Check this site out, and watch the demonstration.

Didn't someone (Presser?) say a while back that they made the same mistake and did like 40iu? Or came really close? This was like 6 months ago...

each 10 mark is 10 ui, your much better off to get the 50ui pins for slin it's much easier to get an accurate dose over the 100 ui pins. On the 50 ui pins each mark is 1 ui. They are also know as 1/2 ml pins.

No prob on the help, sorry if my first reply kinda sounded smart ass, I have the 50 ui 1/2 ml, and each unit is marked off 1-50, I forgot that the 100 ui pins are marked like they are.

Good luck I'm sure you'll do good.
