Hello

How can you explain that? What is the math? I would like to do it for all insulin analogs.

Thanks

6.945

Actually, it is 6. This seems to be a very common area of confusion for a long time, but the literature suggests 6 is the correct conversion.

The American Diabetes Association gives the conversion as 6 in their tables of unit conversions: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/21/12/2206

No idea where the 6.945 came from, I'm currently trying to hunt down the origins of that. Any help would be appreciated!

There are a lot of wrong and confusing answers to this question. The correct conversion factor, as Jennifer Launa Knopp correctly stated, is: 1 µIU/mL = 6.00 pmol/L.
