Subject: lab value
Discharge summary: In a long string of lab values, blood glucose is dictated plainly as one-point-three-three (1.33). The dictator does not say mg/dl and I know there is another way to report glucose (mmol/L), but would this value make sense even in mmol/L? My references tell me 4 mmol/L would be the low range of normal. The patient has type 2 diabetes and is on oral medication, but the hospital course narrative said there were no active issues with his diabetes during the hospital stay. (Can you tell--It's been a long day). TIA
