What scale is that glucose level measured in? I ask because my partner is diabetic but and those levels are supposed to be between 6 and 12 mmol / L. Clearly 100 is not expressed as mmol/L.

US uses mg/dl while most [but not all] other places use mmol/l.

Conversion is mg/dl -> mmol/l divide by 18 approx.

See http://www.soc-bdr.org/rds/authors/unit_tables_conversions_a...

Note, this is only for glucose; there are different factors depending on what is measured, e.g. cholesterol is different.

Thanks.
