📘 About the Blood Glucose Converter

Blood glucose is measured in mg/dL in the US and in mmol/L in most other countries. To convert, multiply mmol/L by 18 (exactly 18.016) to get mg/dL, or divide mg/dL by 18.

Normal fasting glucose is below 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L); 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or more on two tests is in the diabetes range.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is 100 mg/dL in mmol/L?

5.6 mmol/L.

What is 7 mmol/L in mg/dL?

126 mg/dL.

What is a normal blood sugar level?

Fasting 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L); under 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) two hours after eating.

Why are there two units?

mg/dL measures weight per volume; mmol/L measures molecules per volume. Glucose's molar mass (180.16) links them.
