SI  Unit Conversion Guide, by M. Laposata
published by NEJM in 1992, ISBN 0-910133-38-7

(SI refers to the 'international' system of units, which usually means the
whole world except the USA)

Conversion factor for serum glucose values, from traditional to SI: multiply
by 0.05551

To convert from SI, which mmol/L are, to mg/L, which is 'traditional':
divide by 0.05551.

This is the year 2001.  Aren't you glad you have a calculator built in to
your computer?

BTW, 2.6 mmol/L is just under 47 mg/L.  OK for a baby but most of us would
be unpleasantly snappish.  Time for a snack!
