Go to your pharmacist. They should be capable of help you.
mg/dL times 0.05551 equals mmol/L. The entire world excluding the United States uses mmol/L and such units are referred to as Systeme Internationale or SI Units. In your example 374 mg/dL equals 20.8 mmol/L. The capacity of glucose excursion for a non-diabetic is about 70 to 140 (3.9 to 7.8) during the course of a 24 hour term irrespective of when and what you eat. With the advent of newer diabetic medication we are beginning to discuss impossible to tell apart range as the 'ideal' for diabetic patients. It should be remembered however that few diabetics will conquer the ideal. Many diabetics remain undiagnosed and among those one treated only one-third are at 'goal' - and this is a much smaller amount strict goal than the wonderful referred to above. This is true whether the treating physician is a generalist or a specialist, and whether the physician is in a rural setting or a core university. The reason for the adjectives failure of physician's to suitably treat diabetes is not clear. As the incidence of diabetes increases so do the treatment options so hopefully this problem will be address in the fundamental future.
There should be a set-up function on your meter where on earth you can change it. If it's not surrounded by your instructions, call the businessman and let them explain to you how to do it.
divide 374 by 18 to catch the mmol number.
374/18=20.7 mmol...which is very lofty
read the instructions that came beside the meter...you should be able to silver the setting so it reads surrounded by mmol instead of mg/dl
