Question
I have a problem with my glucose meter which I bought from the United
Kingdom, but I didn't pay attention to it. It gives you measurements in
mmol/L, but I want it to give it to me in mg/dL as we used to deal with
these units here in Algeria. How can I convert from mmol/L to mg/dL?
Answer
Several thoughts:
-
Most meters will read in both mmol/L and mg/dL. If you look in the manual
that came with your meter, you should be able to find out how to change
this parameter.
-
If you cannot locate this function in your meter, call the number on the
back of the meter. The customer service representative will talk you though
it.

See: Diabetes
Monitor - blood-glucose unit converter.
-
If all else fails, multiply the value in mmol/L by 18 to get the reading in
mg/dL.
