Or as my physical chemistry (P-Chem) professor once asked:
“What is it in stone-moles per firkin per fortnight?” 🤓
Yes I do
I use mmol/L. Works for me as this is the system most of the science world uses.
Yes, but not the medical world. They aare different worlds….
It comes down to where you live. The US uses mg/dL and Canada and other countries use mmol/L
mmol/L is the standard in Australia.
