I'm getting a bit confused with the new blood sugar readings. I have a meter that reads 6.7 (I wish) . This is in mmol/L (it says it on the readout.

However, when I visit my GP, he gives me readings in the 60's. What is this measured in?

Is there a conversion chart anywhere that I can consult to compare the readings?

Thank for that, that looks good, BUT is there a chart I can print off, as I don't always have Internet access?
