What is 11mmol/L in mg/dL?
When 11mmol/L is converted to mg/dL we get 199mg/dL. A fasting blood sugar (blood glucose) of 199mg/dL is considered very high for a healthy adult.
How do you convert 11mmol/L to mg/dL?
To convert 11mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by 18.018. For example, 11mmol/L x 18.018 = 199mg/dL.
Is 199mg/dL a normal blood sugar level for a healthy adult?
A fasting blood sugar (blood glucose) of 199mg/dL is considered abnormal for a healthy adult. Any fasting blood sugar over 125mg/dL is actually very high. At this level, you would be considered to have diabetes.
Is 199mg/dL a normal blood sugar level for a child?
A fasting blood sugar (blood glucose) of 199mg/dL is considered abnormal for a child. Any fasting blood sugar over 125mg/dL is actually very high. At this level, you would be considered to have diabetes.
Is 199mg/dL a normal blood sugar level for a someone with diabetes?
A fasting blood sugar (blood glucose) of 199mg/dL is considered abnormal for someone with diabetes. A fasting blood sugar over 125mg/dL would indicate that the diabetes is not being optimally treated and they should speak with their healthcare professional.
Is 199mg/dL a normal blood sugar level during pregnancy?
A fasting blood sugar (blood glucose) of 199mg/dL is considered abnormal for someone during pregnancy. A fasting blood sugar over 99mg/dL may indicate that someone has gestational diabetes and they should speak with their healthcare professional. However, it's best practice to diagnose gestational diabetes with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) rather than relying on a fasting blood sugar. A 2hr post glucose level of over 140mg/dL indicates gestational diabetes.
Is 199mg/dL hypoglycaemia?
Hypoglycemia is when blood sugar levels are too low - typically below 70mg/dL. Symptoms of hypoglycaemia include shaking, sweating, hunger, headache, looking pale or being confused. A blood sugar of 199mg/dL is not usually considered hypoglycemia.
Is 199mg/dL hyperglycaemia?
Hyperglycemia is when there’s too much glucose in the blood - typically above 200mg/dL 2 hours after a meal or above 125mg/dL when fasted. A fasting blood sugar of 199mg/dL is usually considered hyperglycemia.
Should I see a doctor with a blood sugar reading of 199mg/dL?
In general, you should see a doctor if you're having high or very low blood sugar levels. It's unusual for non-diabetics to get very low blood sugar level because the body doesn't let glucose levels get too low because glucose is essential for brain function. A fasting blood sugar of 199mg/dL is very high in a non-diabetic. You should see your doctor about this.
