This calculator provides unit conversion and general educational information only. Home meter readings and laboratory plasma glucose results are not always interchangeable. Do not change medication or treatment based on this page. Discuss unexpected results with a qualified healthcare professional.
Blood glucose is commonly reported in milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL) or millimoles per litre (mmol/L). This converter helps readers compare results written in either convention. For glucose, mmol/L is calculated from mg/dL by dividing by 18; mg/dL is calculated from mmol/L by multiplying by 18.
Enter the number exactly as it appears on the meter or laboratory report, select the original unit and review the converted value. Keep the original report because laboratories may use their own rounding. The converter changes units only—it does not classify a reading, diagnose diabetes or recommend treatment.
Food, medication, illness, timing and the type of test can affect a glucose reading. Discuss unexpected or concerning results with a qualified clinician and follow local emergency advice when symptoms are severe.
