Insulin syringe dosage

Probably a daft question but I have tried a google and I’m not too sure. I have insulin syringes for the bonus dose and the scale is in 10s up to 100.
what would I extract from the pen if I were wanting to take a 5mg shot?

It all depends on which mg pen you are extracting from.

@ILoveLeopard245 what brand of insulin syringe did you buy? If it's a 1ml syringe then the increments are a hundredth of a ml. A full dose of any pen is 0.6ml, or up to 60 on your scale. What dose is your pen?

Take a photo of the syringe.

@ILoveLeopard245 so the important point is what dose is your pen? The syringe is a 1ml syringe, so the increments are hundredths of a ml as I said.

So then you need 0.6ml which is to the 60 mark on your syringe.
