I got a needle from a diabetic friend of mine. It is marked in tenths of CC\'s. What does 1 CC = in terms of ml\'s? You\'ll have to excuse me if this is a really basic question but we Americans were never any good at the metric system. Heck, marijuana has taught more Americans about the metric system then our public school systems ever could, unfortunately, there isn\'t any ml\'s in a dime bag. images/icons/laugh.gif

In case anyone wanted to know, 1 CC = 1 ml.

Yeah one mL = one cc. And for kicks, that equals one gram if you use water. Also of note, a lot of diabetic materials are labeled in \"units\" These equal 1/100 of a mL. Good Luck

Just take note that most insulin syringes are self-sealing(1-10 minutes) after drawing any liquid through the syringe-needle it seals up tight.......

Satan

But you have probably found that out by yourself by now images/icons/tongue.gif

remove the needle with a pair of pliars. some of the products like APC are too viscous to draw up the needle anyway.
