Blood Glucose Conversion mmol/L – mg/dL

16 October 2016

To make blood sugar conversion from mmol/L to mg/dL easy, I've put together a blood glucose conversion calculator and chart. If you're not sure what mmol/L or mg/dL mean, see unit of measurement below.

Blood glucose conversion calculator

mmol/L

mg/dL

Conversion formula

mmol/L = mg/dL ÷ 18.016

mg/dL = 18.016 × mmol/L

※ Note: 180.16 g/mol is the molar mass of glucose.
