How to convert mmol/L to mg/dL
mg/dL = mmol/L × (factor)glucose ≈ 18.02 · cholesterol ≈ 38.67 · reverse: mmol/L = mg/dL ÷ factor
- mmol/L
- the result in millimoles per litre
- mg/dL
- the result in milligrams per decilitre
- factor
- set by the analyte's molar mass
These factors are standard, but reference ranges differ by lab and person. This converts units only and is not a diagnosis, discuss results with your doctor.
