I seem to have been rated down 4 times in an question that I answered yesterday in relation to diabetes where the blood glucose level was in the high 200’s. Maybe the levels are different for different countries. Is this the case? In Australia a normal blood suger is 4.5, not in the high 80′ to 90’s. Am I right or are other people making me out to be making up my information? The next answer to mine seems to on the same track as me.
Forget the ratings. They’re meaningless. Just point people to the BGL converter here: http://www.brist.plus.com/convert.htm
In the U.S. we use milligrams per deciliter. In the U.K. and Canada, they use millimoles per liter. They differ only by a factor of 18. Elsewhere, I have no idea.
U.S. norm fasting: 70 to 110 mg/dl
U.K. norm fasting: 3.9 to 6.1 mmol/l

Ignore those who are ignorant. I get that all the time.

The unit of measure could very well vary from country to country, in fact, possibly from lab to lab in this country. You may have been given a thumbs down because your answer may have sounded like the actual blood sugar level in a person’s blood would change from country to country, which is ridiculous because as anyone knows, your blood sugar levels aren’t affected by geography. Units of measure vary in other areas, too, so it is reasonable to believe they do in measuring "norms" for medical purposes as well. References :
There are different forms of the same numbers. I do not recall the conversion right this moment. But you are correct that the levels are the same. References :

Well I am diabetic and the target BM is between 5.5 and 9.0- anything lower than 4.0 is a hypo.
I live in Scotland by the way.

Different system of measure in different countries, eg think imperial and metric.
‘Normally, the blood glucose level is maintained between about 4 and 8 mmol/L (70 to 150 mg/dL).’ – quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar
The measurement is also dependent on whether you are fasting or not.
