? How to find .25 on U-100 Syringes?

[jacereske]

I have 1/2 u markings on my syringes. How do you do .25? Is it just below the line for the full unit dose?

There's a picture of the .25 dose towards the bottom of this "Handling and drawing fine doses" sticky

Thanks - it's still really hard to see since the markings and the plunger are black.

Yeah but the important part is just to be as consistent as possible...everybody hates those .25 unit doses so you're not alone!

One thing that helps me to see the plunger more clearly is to hold the syringe in front of a bright desk lamp. That illuminates everything well and allows me to see the markings and where the plunger tip is in relation to them. It's the only way I can deal with between markings amounts of insulin. As Chris (& China) said above, try to be as consistent as you can.

Ditto.

Using a cheap 'n' cheerful jeweller's loupe for magnification helps a great deal. I got a plastic one off ebay.
