> around 80 to 110 mg/dL (4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L for those of you not in the US)

uhm, aren't both metric? mg/dL looks like "milligrams per deciliter" to me

Yeah, they're both metric (you have the units right), but for some reason the US tends to use the mg/dL convention, where the rest of the world (or at least Canada and Europe) use the mmol/L convention.
