Converting blood sugar from mmol/L to mg/dL

To convert blood sugar from mmol/L to mg/dL, you have to:

Find the molar mass of glucose: 180.156 g/mol.
Convert the molar mass from g/mol to mg/mmol. Since both values scale down proportionally:

180.156 g/mol = 180.156 mg/mmol
Multiply the molar mass from the step above by the mmol/L value you've got.
Convert the result you got in Step 3 from mg/L to mg/dL by dividing by 10.
That's it! Now you know how to convert glucose mmol/L to mg/dL!

Alternatively, you can input your data and let our calculator do the work for you! Then, you can go to Omni Calculator's blood sugar converter to check whether your glucose levels are alright.

Converting cholesterol from mmol/L to mg/dL

Converting cholesterol from mmol/L to mg/dL couldn't be easier. In fact, it is just about the same as what we did for blood sugar, only that now we use the molar mass of cholesterol (TC, LDL, HDL) instead. To calculate it, use the following equation:

cholesterol (mg/dL) = cholesterol (mmol/L) × 386.654/10

where 386.654 is the molar mass of the cholesterol in mg/mmol.

If you'd like to learn more about the different types of cholesterol and how to calculate them, check out the cholesterol ratio and the cholesterol units calculators.

How to convert from mg/dL to mmol/L

To convert from mg/dL to mmol/L, all you have to do is:

Convert from mg/dL to mg/L. To do this, multiply the mg/dL value by 10 (1L = 10 dL). For example:

0.2 mg/dL × 10 = 2 mg/L
Find the molar mass of the substance at hand. For the sake of this example, let's say we are talking about bilirubin, which has a molar mass of 584.66 g/mol.
Convert the molar mass from g/mol to mg/mmol. As both values decrease by an equal factor:

584.66 g/mol = 584.66 mg/mmol
Divide the value in mg/L by the molar mass in mg/mmol. In our case:

2 mg/L / 584.66 mg/mmol = 0.00034 mmol/L
That's it! You have now converted from mg/dL to mmol/L.
