For a while I couldn't fathom out why some of you were coming up with some outrageous readings till I figured out the metric thing...lol
I measure mine with the metric method,but don't have a clue how the other method works. Is there a chart with the conversion on? Im quite happy using metric,its just that when some of you say you have a reading of say 269 it completely baffles me. Posted on 07/22/08, 07:07 am |

I usually use a search engine and type in 'convert mmol/l to mg/dl' (or the other way around) and then go for one of the top results. I think there is a mathematical formula but I don't know it.

Hi Blue!
The math is 18.ie US to metric = US divided by 18= metric.Metric x 18=US. I'm in Canada and was pretty confused by it for a while too. Have the best day you can! Brian
