Nah - moles make sense ... I might have 5 mmols/dl glucose; 3 mmols/dl HDL cholesterol; 6 mmols/dl LDL cholesterol and 12 mmols/dl Triglicerides ... but under a g/dl system, the average molecular weight of the individual molecules has to be determined ... and then the answer given in grams ... thus the conversion factor for glucose is 18:1; the various types of Cholesterol are somewhere in the 40:1-50:1 ratio; the Triglycerides are something else ... and all the numbers look Huge ...
By using mmols - there's a good rule of thumb ... NONE of them should be over 10
