Blood glucose levels are typically measured in two units:
- Milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL): Commonly used in the United States.
- Millimoles per liter (mmol/L): Commonly used in many other countries, including Canada and the UK.
For example, a normal fasting blood glucose level is generally between 70-100 mg/dL or 3.9-5.6 mmol/L.
Always refer to your healthcare provider for the correct interpretation of your blood glucose levels.
