About Blood Sugar Unit Converter Calculator

Converts blood glucose between mg/dL and mmol/L using the 18.0182 factor from the molar mass of glucose, and shows the fasting reference band.

Formula

Glucose unit conversion

mmol/L = mg/dL / 18.0182; mg/dL = mmol/L x 18.0182

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 18.0182?

It is the molar mass of glucose (180.16 g/mol) scaled for the decilitre-to-litre step.

Do the fasting bands apply to any sample?

No. The 100 and 126 mg/dL thresholds apply to fasting samples only.
