Dev: Feature - SugarStats now with mmol/l support
Posted on: Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 at 5:33 pm
I’m happy to announce SugarStats now has experimental mmol/l support!
Mmol/l support
I wish we could have released it at the private-BETA launch but it had to wait.
To some of you this might not matter at all, most likely if you’re in the U.S. then it doesn’t. In the U.S. the standard for measuring glucose levels is in mg/dL and stands for milligrams/deciliter.
But everywhere else in the world another standard is used which is called mmol/l. mmol/l stands for millimoles/liter and is the world standard for measuring blood glucose.
Mg/dl to mmol/l conversion
Along with general support we’ve integrated mg/dl to mmol/l conversion and vise-versa. So if you’ve been BETA testing and having to enter your readings in mg/dl but really have them taken in mmol/l, now you can convert any existing entries.
All you have to do is go to your “lists & settings” page, go to personal details and select which one you’d like from the glucose scale drop-down box.
Once you update it will automatically convert to the opposite scale.
Conversion process
Note though that the formula we used for conversion isn’t particularly complex, we used a very common method in which you simply divide(or multiply) by 18. So there might be a slight margin of error on some of your entries, but for the most part it is pretty precise.
All of you BETA testing can us it immediately, feel free to drop by the forum / contact support if you need help or have questions.
