BloodSugar tracker & converter

You can convert mg/dl to mmol/L unit of blood sugar and also keep track of it.

People from outside the US may find this app convenient for converting US blood glucose values which are given in mg/dl into values generated by their blood glucose meters, which are generated in mmol/L.

Both sets of units are used to measure blood sugar levels and both give a measurement of the concentration of glucose in the blood, albeit in slightly different ways.

mmol/L gives the molarity, which is the number of molecules of a substance within a specified volume, in this case within 1 litre. mg/dL gives the concentration by the ratio of weight to volume, in this case milligrams per decilitre.

mmol/L is the most common measurement used in the UK with mg/dL predominantly used in the USA and continental Europe.

mmol/LInternational standard unit for measuring the concentration of glucose in the blood - also known as millimolar (mM). This unit is used in the UK.: Millimoles per litre

mg/dLUnit for measuring concentration of glucose in the blood in the USA - milligrams per decilitre.: Milligrams per 100 millilitres

Blood glucose typically varies from 4 mmol/L to 6 mmol/L for people without diabetes.

Blood sugar (also called blood glucose) needs to be tightly controlled in the human body to minimise the risk of complications developing.
