There's no need to conver to mmol but to do it multiply by 18.

Here's a link to some issues with glucometers:

Standards for accuracy are pretty lax (within 15 to 20% error) and not all glucometers even meet those:

Although some are  very close:

Normal nonfasting glucose on an IR diet should not be over 100 and 80s or 90s is where most lie.
