Glucose conversion

I was looking online for conversion between American and Canadian units as my mental model for insulin coverage is in American units, but my meter is in Canadian units.

But I don't want an online app! I just want a simple chart that's easy to read on my cellphone - I can message it there and look it up anytime.

First I got a text chart that was impossible to read on my cellphone. Multiple cols, laid out so that you don't have to scroll. The issue is not scrolling - easy to do on a blackberry - it's trying to decide whether the one number is associated with the one on it's left or the one on it's right when the separators are "---".

Next I looked at an online app -- but connecting/getting a link is SLOW...

So I made up my own chart - dead simple. Paste it into a message, send it to your cellphone, and watch your diet and exercise!
