Pre-drawn Regular insulin syringes

Hi,

Several of you have mentioned that you stock pre-drawn syringes of regular insulin 10 units on nursing units. I'd love to learn more about this. Do you buy them already drawn up? Do you draw them up? If so, is there stability information available?

Thank you.
