Common Reference Ranges

Typical adult reference values used in many guidelines (for quick orientation only)

Fasting Plasma Glucose

Common non-diabetic reference: about 70-99 mg/dL (3.9-5.5 mmol/L).

2-Hour Post-Meal

Many targets keep post-meal values below 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L).

Diagnostic Threshold

A fasting value at or above 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) is a common diagnostic threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the formula between mg/dL and mmol/L?

For glucose, mmol/L = mg/dL ÷ 18.0182 and mg/dL = mmol/L × 18.0182. Clinical practice often rounds this factor to 18.

Why do some countries use mmol/L while others use mg/dL?

Different regions adopted different lab standards. The US commonly uses mg/dL, while many countries in Europe and Asia commonly use mmol/L.

Can I use this for CGM and fingerstick values?

Yes. The conversion is unit-based only, so it can be used for both CGM data and fingerstick meter readings.

Does this tool diagnose diabetes?

No. It only converts units. Diagnosis must be made by a qualified healthcare professional using proper clinical criteria.

How do mg/L and g/L relate to mg/dL?

1 mg/dL equals 10 mg/L and 0.01 g/L. These are direct concentration unit relationships.
