The meter then displays the level in units of mg/dL or mmol/L. Since approximately 1980, a primary goal of the management of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been achieving closer-to-normal levels of glucose in the blood for as much of the time as possible, guided by HBGM several times a day.
Multivitamins nutrition facts label showing that the international unit of, for example, vitamins D and E correspond to different gram values. In pharmacology, the international unit (IU) is a unit of measurement for the effect or biological activity of a substance, for the purpose of easier comparison across similar forms of substances.
Unit conversion formula from mmol/L to mg/dL [5] m g / d L = m m o l / L × m o l e c u l a r w e i g h t ÷ 10 {\displaystyle mg/dL=mmol/L\times molecular\ weight\div 10} Since the molecular mass of glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 is 180.156 g/mol, the factor between the two units is about 18, so 1 mmol/L of glucose is equivalent to 18 mg/dL.
For a 2 hour GTT with 75 g intake, a glucose level below 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) is normal, whereas higher levels indicate hyperglycemia. Blood plasma glucose between 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) and 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) indicate "impaired glucose tolerance", and levels at or above 11.1 mmol/L at 2 hours confirm a diagnosis of diabetes.

The original is a unit of energy, equal to the energy in one mole (1 mol) of photons. The second is a unit of amount of photons, equal to one mole (1 mol) of photons. The rayleigh (R) is a unit of photon flux rate density equal to 10 10 m −2 ⋅s −1 (10 4 mm −2 ⋅s −1).
In an encore “20/20” airing Dec. 27 at 9 p.m. ET, the show, which originally aired in 2023, tells the story of Julie Jensen, the mother of two who was found dead in her bed in 1998.
For many monosaccharides (including glucose), the cyclic forms predominate, in the solid state and in solutions, and therefore the same name commonly is used for the open- and closed-chain isomers. Thus, for example, the term "glucose" may signify glucofuranose, glucopyranose, the open-chain form, or a mixture of the three.
