IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UNITS OF MEASURE
Different units of measure are standard in different countries or regions. Milligrams
per deciliter (mg/dL) is the standard unit used in the United States. The unit of
measurement used in Canada, some European countries and other parts of the
world is mmol/L. This unit includes a decimal point but mg/dL results do not.
There is a significant difference in the glucose reading depending on the units of
measurement, mg/dL or mmol/L.
