Guide

Hormones from your brain, daily rhythms, and stress signals regulate how much cortisol your adrenal glands release.

Use your average blood sugar to estimate an A1C percentage and see a three month picture of long term glucose patterns.

A glucose control solution is a test fluid with set sugar levels used to check whether your meter and strips still give reliable readings at home.

To switch from U.S. blood sugar readings to Canadian units, divide mg/dL by 18 or multiply mmol/L by 18 to move in the other direction.

To convert blood sugar, multiply mg/dL by 0.0555 to get mmol/L, or divide mmol/L by 0.0555 to go back to mg/dL.

To change cortisol from nmol/L to ng/mL, multiply the value by about 0.36 so your lab result matches common reference charts.

To convert between these units, multiply mmol/L by 18 for mg/dL, or divide mg/dL by 18 for mmol/L.

Most protocols base the new subcutaneous dose on recent IV insulin needs, then split it into basal and meal doses with short overlap.

Use this mg/dL to mmol/L guide to read glucose results, spot patterns, and talk clearly with your diabetes care team.

To switch cortisol from ng/mL to µg/dL, multiply the lab value by 0.1 so you keep the same hormone level in a new unit.
