It does look like mg/dl which are the units used in some other countries but not the UK, divide by 18 to convert to mmol/l which is what we use here.I thought they used mg/dl? As to the actual numbers, that’s what I’m thinking
As you are in the UK it would be less confusing if they used the units we use here.Ah, that makes sense thanks, is a strange way of writing it out though as opposed to using mg/dl or mmol/l
A web search produces graphs using mmol/L (as we'd use) and mg/dl, but also mmol/dm^3 which is the same as mmol/L but weird (I wonder if it's sometimes used in academic papers for some reason). As you all say it would make lots of sense just to use mmol/L and I've no idea why there's variation in this country. (I can imagine DSNs being taught about mg/dl, but not students for GCSE since diabetes is surely a small part of biology so it's not worth including that.)My daughter did the diabetes part of her GCSE course during lockdown, and it was pretty tragic, the numbers on the graph didn’t seem to be either mmol/L or mg/dl so made no sense at all!
What do you expect from a country which despite it's currency being decimalised - ie one dollar = 100 cents - like forever, can't cope with decimalised anything else ! Would yer average American 21 year old know what centi, milli, kilo etc, indicated infront of whatever word it precedes? Personally - I think not. Should you happen to need a widget to fix a wimwam (engineering terminology LOL) and you know Harley Davidson make exactly what you need - it's a nightmare trying to find US produced accessories or fasteners that fit anything European. They still machine stuff to thousands of an inch, NOT millimetres.Ah, that makes sense thanks, is a strange way of writing it out though as opposed to using mg/dl or mmol/l
At least they have labelled their axes.The lesson went well, no ignorance there but doing a bit of revision on the school approved website and this is it

What are these units???
True, I’ve seen too many with the axes labelled the wrong way roundAt least they have labelled their axes.
Far too often you get graphs used without the info!!!!
