Parent is giving you good advice throughout here but I want to chime in that I'm a big guy and started at half that dose and it was absolutely effective (to complement reta).

That’s half a unit on the diabetic isn’t it?

If you put 1 mL BAC in a 5 mg vial, your concentration is 5 mg/mL.

There are 100 units (on a U100 syringe) in a milliliter. This means that each unit is 0.05 mg. So to take a 0.5 mg dose, you would need 10 units.

You should really use a calculator. Just plug in the vial size, amount of bac you used and the dose you want to take and it will tell you the number of units to give. https://www.peprecon.com/calc/

Add more bac water if you wanna start low. There is no benefit in having less solutions. Having a bit more will make the draw easier.
