Step 1 of 3

What type of pet do you have?

Glucose Unit Converter

Convert between mmol/L (used outside the US) and mg/dL (used in the US). Both measure the same thing—just different scales.

mmol/L (millimoles per litre)

Used in Canada, UK, Australia, Europe

mg/dL (milligrams per decilitre)

Used in the United States

Quick Reference:

Typical pet target range:5–12 mmol/L

Same in mg/dL:90–220 mg/dL

Hypoglycemia (critical):< 4 mmol/L or < 70 mg/dL

Note: Always ask your vet what target range is right for your pet—this varies by individual.

Insulin Timing Reminder

Track your injection schedule. Set your times below and get a quick reference guide.

Morning Feeding & Injection Time

Evening Feeding & Injection Time

Morning Timeline

Feed & inject:08:00

Nadir (lowest point):~12:00

Peak effect ends:~16:00

Evening Timeline

Feed & inject:20:00

Nadir (lowest point):~00:00

Peak effect ends:~04:00

About these times: The nadir is when insulin is working hardest—your pet's glucose will be lowest around 4 hours after injection. The peak effect ends around 8 hours later. Keep feeding and injection times consistent so your vet can predict glucose patterns.

These are estimates based on typical insulin behavior. Your vet will do a glucose curve to see exactly how your pet's body responds.

Mello is a tracking tool, not a substitute for veterinary advice. Always follow your vet's instructions for insulin timing and dosing.
