Insulin pre-prepared doses for IV push

Does anyone stock 10unit/10mL or 5unit/5mL insulin syringes in their ADC for nurse to remove and administer for IV push administration? We are a non-24hr pharmacy, so need something safe to provide for after hours. I would love to pre-prepare doses like this instead of having them pull out of a large vial. Any stability information would be very much appreciated. Thank you!!
