Mmol/L to mg/dl Calculator

The mmol/L to mg/dl calculator is an essential tool that converts two common units used to measure blood glucose (Millimoles per liter) mmol to mg per deciliter (mg/dl).

Millimoles per liter (mmol/L) is primarily used in European countries and many international medical systems, while mmol to mg per deciliter (mg/dl) is commonly used in the United States and some other countries.

For Example….

5.1 mmol/L = 92 mg/dl
5.2 mmol/L = 94 mg/dl
5.9 mmol/L = 106 mg/dl
5.4 mmol/L = 97 mg/dl
7.8 mmol/L = 141 mg/dl
8.0 mmol/L = 144 mg/dl
10.0 mmol/L = 180 mg/dl
2.3 mmol/L = 41 mg/dl

Mmol/L to mg/dl Conversion Formula

For glucose conversion between mmol/L and mg/dl formula is:

mg/dl = mmol/L × 18.018

This formula is derived from the molecular weight of glucose (180.18 g/mol) divided by 10.

The factor 18.018 is specific to glucose conversions.

To convert 6.0 mmol/L to mg/dl:

mg/dl = 6.0 × 18.018
mg/dl = 108.108 ≈ 108 mg/dl

How to Convert Mmol/L to mg/dl?

Converting mmol/L to mg/dl involves three simple steps:

Identify the value in mmol/L that needs to be converted.
Multiply the value by the conversion factor (18.018).
Round the result to the nearest whole number.

Let’s convert 7.2 mmol/L to mg/dl:

Initial value: 7.2 mmol/L
Multiply: 7.2 × 18.018 = 129.7296
Round: ≈ 130 mg/dl
