mmol/L stands for millimoles per liter, which is a unit of measurement used to express the concentration of substances in the blood, such as glucose. It is commonly used in many countries outside the United States to measure blood sugar levels.

  • Normal Blood Sugar Levels: Typically, a fasting blood sugar level of 4.0 to 5.4 mmol/L is considered normal.
  • Prediabetes: A fasting blood sugar level between 5.5 to 6.9 mmol/L may indicate prediabetes.
  • Diabetes: A fasting blood sugar level of 7.0 mmol/L or higher is often used to diagnose diabetes.

For more detailed information, consult your healthcare provider or refer to guidelines from organizations like the American Diabetes Association.
