Blood alcohol unit of measurement
Common Questions and Answers about Blood alcohol unit of measurement
alcohol
The unit of measurement cited refers to the concentration of ethanol (alcohol) by molecular count.
If an ethanol level of 0.10% is equal to 22 mmol/l or 100 mg/dl, then 1 mmol/l would equal an ethanol level of .021%. This is a very low blood alcohol level where the average individual appears normal.
The term “nanog/ml” is a measurement of concentration (amount) of a substance in a given volume of liquid (in this case blood). It stands for nanograms (a unit of measure for weight) per milliliter (a unit of measure for volume). Benzoylecgonine is a metabolite (the body changes substances put into it into other substances that can be measured) of the narcotic cocaine and can be measured by urine or hair samples and allows someone to tell long-term if an individual has used this substance.
So going on that I would say that if you do drink a lot of alcohol, cut it out completely or reduced your intake to the recommended daily unit measurement for men and women - you should find the details of this on the web.
If you are overweight or have a very fatty diet, then eat a healthy and well balanced diet with fresh fruit and vegetables, cut down on fatty meat. Chicken, pork, turkey and fish are considered more healthy options to red meat like beef.
Because it is sometimes difficult to obtain an exact history of alcohol consumption, laboratory markers of chronic alcohol misuse have been established and are frequently used. One of the best markers for chronic alcohol consumption is serum {gamma}-glutamyl transferase (GGT), which has a relatively high sensitivity and specificity. Because measurement of this enzyme is easy and inexpensive, it has generally been used for early detection of chronic alcohol misuse.
Assuming you are otherwise healthy, your BP is not that low for a healthy, young female. One blood pressure reading does not indicate much of anything, especially on a home unit.
Drinking water is always good advice.
If you are concerned, most physicians and clinics offer free blood pressure checks to their patients. Trends are important with BP's, ask your provider what he or she recommends for you regarding frequency of measurement.

hi,
what unit is the measurement in? if mmol/l the first no. may be wrong. Maybe a problem with the meter. However the second no. is high (how long after eating was it?) . Anyway this sort of nos mean he needs to adjust meds and /or what he is eating / his activity level. Recommend he works with his dr too.
Yes, VL = viral load ---- the number of virions or viral particles you have in your blood per whatever the unit of blood measurement is. Almost meaningless in terms of disease, though as desrt says, when you treat VL is closely watched to see how many of the virions are dying or how much of the copy cycle has being shut down. Some think that the higher your VL, the more infectious your blood is if it comes into direct contact with HCV-free blood.

however, you do need to work out how to do a correction of high blood sugars using humalog. For me, 1 unit of humalog will drop my blood sugar by 2.2 points. So if I am say 9 and wanted to be 7 I would take 1 unit of humalog.
btw the coversion between numbers is 18.
Hope this helps.

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHG), a standard of measurement. PSI stands for pounds of pressure per square inch exerted (usually via syringe), an action. One is used to measure an action, the other to to create an action (inject). They do not correlate, therefore, are not interchangeable.

I usually find that when I drink, the mixers raise it first and the alcohol lowers it later. As for insulin, I use an insulin pump with a 1 unit / 11g of carb ratio. Because alcohol lowers my blood sugar, I will give less insulin than I normally would for the mixer itself. Example: If I use a cup of juice with my drink, I may take off 1/4 of the insulin amount I would give. This varies from drink to drink and from person to person, so it may take some time to figure out.
