Blood Sugar Conversion Calculator

• Blood Sugar Converter Calculator helps to convert mg/dL to mmol/L for blood sugar

 

Steps To Convert Blood Sugar

1. Enter Your Glucose Level
2. Convert to mg/L to mmol/L or vice versa

Blood Sugar Conversion Formulas

• Blood sugar (also called blood glucose) needs to be tightly controlled in the human body to minimize the risk of complications developing.

 

Formula to calculate mmol/l from mg/dl

mmol/l = mg/dl / 18

 

Formula to calculate mg/dl from mmol/l

mg/dl = 18 × mmol/l

 

Blood Sugar Chart

Here are blood sugar chart is given.

 

Blood Sugar Chart
Category	Fasting Value (mg/dl)		Post Prandial (mg/dl)
	Minimum Value	Maximum Value	Just after eating	Value 2 hours after consuming glucose
Normal	70	100	170 to 200	Less than 140
Early Diabetes	101	126	190 to 230	140 to 200
Established Diabetes	More than 126	-	230 to 300	More than 200

 

Normal Blood Sugar Levels by Age

Here is Blood Sugar Range by age.

 

 

Ideal Blood Sugar Range for Adults (20 Years & Above)

• 1-2 Hours after a Meal: Under 180 mg/dL
• Fasting: Under 100 mg/dL
• Bed Time: 100-140 mg/dL

 

Normal Blood Sugar Range for Women (Above 60 Years)

• Fasting: 90-150 mg/dl
• 2 hours post meal: Below 180 mg/ dl

 

What's the difference between mmol/L and mg/dL

• Both sets of units are used to measure blood sugar levels and both give a measurement of the concentration of glucose in the blood, albeit in slightly different ways.
• mmol/L gives the molarity, which is the number of molecules of a substance within a specified volume, in this case within 1 liter. 
• mg/dL gives the concentration by the ratio of weight to volume, in this case, milligrams per decilitre.

 

Can I change the units given by my blood glucose meter

• This can depend on which blood glucose meter you have.
• Some meters allow you to change the units from mg/dL to mmol/L and vice versa while some meters are only set up to display one set of units.
• Check the meter’s manual for whether it is possible to change the units.

Important Facts About Blood Sugar

• Glucose is a simple sugar and is one of the primary molecules which serve as energy sources for both plants and animals.
• Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.
• Uncontrolled or high blood sugar levels can lead to health complications such as blindness, heart disease, and kidney disease.
• An increase or decrease in the glucose level in the blood can lead to a condition called "diabetic coma"
• Consume foods with a low ‘Glycemic Index’ to keep the blood sugar levels in check and lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

 

Importance of Blood Sugar

• Measuring blood sugar levels and understanding what your glucose levels should be is an essential part of diabetes treatment for many people with diabetes.
• Blood sugar level refers to the total amount of glucose circulating in the blood.
• In different parts of the world, different units for measuring blood glucose are standard.

 

Tips to Maintain Normal Blood Sugar Level

• Consume whole, non/minimally processed, and low-carb foods to control the blood glucose in the body.
• Include at least 150 minutes of exercise weekly if you have no medical restrictions.
• Stay hydrated always, which will help your body to eliminate excess amounts of glucose through urine.
• Take insulin and other medications per the instructions from healthcare professionals to avoid any sudden spike or drop in the blood glucose level.

 

Factors That Affect Blood Sugar

• Physical activities can impact our glucose levels. For example, heavy and rigorous work may decrease our blood sugar levels, whereas no or less physical activity may increase our blood sugar levels.
• The food we consume can impact our blood sugar levels. For example, if we eat rich, high-carbohydrate, or high-calorie foods, our blood glucose readings might increase.
• Stress (physical or mental) can spike our normal blood sugar levels. Dehydration can result in low blood glucose levels.
• The quantity of food we consume can also affect our normal sugar levels. In addition, overeating may increase sugar levels.
• Certain medicines can disturb our blood glucose levels. In addition, medical conditions like hypoglycemia, diabetes, and liver disease may cause changes in our normal sugar levels.
• Alcohol consumption can cause our good sugar level reading to drop. Smoking can lead to Type 2 Diabetes. Age matters! Insulin tolerance decreases with age, thus increasing the chances of diabetes.
