What this guide covers
This guide covers pair common 2.0–20.0 mmol/L readings with exact mg/dL conversions and separate fasting, post-meal, laboratory and home-meter contexts. Each explains diagnostic cut-offs only as formal criteria requiring confirmation, the error allowed in home meters, reasons a single value moves, and symptom thresholds for urgent help. The site never diagnoses diabetes or recommends changing insulin.
How to use it
Use Glucose readings in both unit systems as an index across related cases. The consolidated page establishes the shared method first; narrower pages should appear only when they can add case-specific data rather than repeat a template.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
Search vocabulary in four languages
Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.
| Language | Example phrase |
|---|---|
| Estonian | veresuhkur 6,2 tühja kõhuga |
| Finnish | verensokeri 6,2 paasto |
| Russian | глюкоза 6,2 натощак что значит |
| English | blood sugar 6.2 mmol fasting |
Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.
Source: WHO diabetes diagnostic criteria (official), ISO 15197 accuracy facts and national diabetes-care guidance; conversion uses 18.0182 mg/dL per mmol/L. · checked 2026-09-09
Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
