Frequently Asked Questions

What is the formula for converting mg/dL to mmol/L?
To convert glucose, divide mg/dL by 18.0182 to get mmol/L. Conversely, multiply mmol/L by 18.0182 to get mg/dL. In clinical practice, this is often simplified to a factor of 18.
Why does the USA use mg/dL instead of mmol/L?
The USA uses the mg/dL standard, while most other countries (including the UK and Canada) use mmol/L. This tool helps bridge that gap if you are reviewing studies or logs from abroad.
Can I use this for both CGM and fingerstick readings?
Yes. Whether you use a Dexcom G7 or a standard fingerstick meter, the unit conversion logic remains the same for the raw number.
Is this tool a substitute for medical diagnosis?
No. It strictly converts numeric values between units. Only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose diabetes or adjust your medication.
How do mg/L and g/L relate to the standard mg/dL?
There is a direct relationship: 1 mg/dL is equal to 10 mg/L and 0.01 g/L. These represent the same glucose concentration in different magnitude units.
How do I convert a US reading to a Canadian or Australian reading?
Canada, Australia, and the UK report blood glucose in mmol/L, while the US uses mg/dL. To read a US value in mmol/L, divide by 18: a 250 mg/dL reading is about 13.9 mmol/L, and 100 mg/dL is about 5.6 mmol/L. Enter any value above and both units update instantly.
