The vial of medicine is 1 ML. Since the description of the device said it would hold vials of  various types and brands of insulin, I assumed that the device would hold vials of different sizes... (my medication is not insulin). Is it possible to use the device with a 1 ml vial?  (I knew the device would only hold 1/2 cc syringes, but didn't realize that limit could've applied to the vial as well.)
