mmol/L stands for millimoles per liter, a unit of measurement used to express the concentration of substances in the blood, such as glucose (blood sugar). It is commonly used in many countries outside the United States to measure blood glucose levels.
- Normal fasting blood glucose level: 4.0–5.4 mmol/L
- Prediabetes range: 5.5–6.9 mmol/L
- Diabetes range: 7.0 mmol/L or higher
In the U.S., blood glucose levels are often measured in mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). To convert mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by 18. For example, 5.5 mmol/L is approximately 99 mg/dL.
