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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
