[QUOTE="cugila, post: 91056, member: 15325"] Hi Spiral. Blood Sugar 101 and US numbers. The conversion for the US to UK readings is not quite right . What you should remember is this, [b]NOTE: All blood sugar levels discussed on these pages refer to plasma calibrated meter readings which are the readings used by all meters sold in the United States. In other parts of the world where blood calibrated are still in use, including the UK, users should divide the numbers given here by 1.12 to get the blood calibrated equivalents.[/b] The way to convert US plasma calibrated numbers on BS101 is to take the number, say 140 mg/dl then divide it by 1.12 to convert to blood calibrated readings, then divide that number by 18 to give the UK mmol/l figure This is the example: 140mg/dl divided by 1.12 =125, THEN divide by 18 to give 6.9 mmol/l. Nothings ever easy is it. This little snippet is courtesy of another website member elsewhere. Thank you. Ken. [/QUOTE]
