    Codefree units (how do I change then)

    Hi I use a Codefree BM with Shuggah and calibrate as necessary. One issue I have is the unit is calibrated for mg/dl when I work in mmols. Anyone know how to change in settings as I can’t see it as an option and then manual isn’t at all helpful, in fact doesn’t say how to change. Many thanks.
