If you're using pen it will administer the right units. I suppose you were using a syringe and vial previously. Take the same units as the pen will deliver the same units. The quantity will be less as it is 2.5 times more concentrated.

Which insulin you are taking? Is it 30/70?
If you are using 100 iu/ml pen and cartridge you set your required dose in pen it delivers.
You should use pen 100 or 40 according to the cartridge..
