Converting Canadian BSL readings/results into American
Does anyone know how to convert Canadian readings/results into American? For example if I had a BSL of 5.2 mmol/L, what would it be for an American?

Just thought I might get more help if I try to convert it!

Multiple or divide by 18. So a 5.2 mmol would be a 94 mg/dl (we don't use decimal points for BG readings.)

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
