The Blood Sugar Unit Converter translates blood glucose readings between mg/dL (United States) and mmol/L (UK, Europe, Australia, Canada) — the two standards used worldwide. Conversion factor: mg/dL ÷ 18.0182 = mmol/L. The calculator also categorizes the reading (hypoglycemia, normal, prediabetes, diabetes) based on whether it is a fasting or postprandial (after-meal) measurement.

Perguntas frequentes
Why two units?
Historical — the US adopted mg/dL while most of the world uses mmol/L (SI units). Both are correct; the conversion factor is fixed.
