It's a factor of 18, 1 mmol/L (UK) == 18 mg/dl (US). See http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html (needs JavaScript). My sister is diabetic (has just started injections rather than oral) so I looked it up a couple of weeks back.
I agree, that nurse should be fired. Unfortunately in the UK a doctor pretty much has to kill someone before getting struck off and although an ordinary ward nurse can be fired the specialist ones have a similar immunity to doctors. I would however put in a formal complaint just so it's on the record.
Well done Zan for working it out and daring to try a logical solution!
