Yeah instead of “unit of insulin” he meant “vial of insulin”. A standard vial of insulin is 10 mL. Generally speaking, the most common concentration of insulin is 100 units per milliliter. So, typically, a standard vial of insulin contains

Thank you for this, and no, you’re fine. I do not know why others are downvoting you. You are not putting a price on human lives, and the EU did not either. It was about giving people more rights, not less. So, don’t worry. You really are a
