The units of measurement are different, however the diagnostic levels are the same. set by WHO.
We use mmol/l , they use mg/dl
The conversion factor is 18.
UK fasted blood sugar is normal up to 6.6 mmoles/l in US this becomes 119 ( often rounded up to 120) mg/dl.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Yes, they are different.
In the United States they use mg/dL (milligrams per decilitre ... deciliter if you wish to go the whole hog and spell the way Americans do).
In the UK, and most other countries in the world, we use mmol/l (millimols per litre).
To convert mg/dL to mmol/l divide the number by 18.
