Insulin: µIU/mL to pmol/L
Convert Insulin between µIU/mL and pmol/L — Insulin is reported in µIU/mL (identical to mIU/L) in the US and pmol/L elsewhere. Type in either box to convert both ways.

How to convert Insulin from µIU/mL to pmol/L
To convert Insulin, multiply µIU/mL by 6.945 — based on the international insulin standard (1 µIU/mL = 6.945 pmol/L); the exact factor varies slightly by assay. For example, 1 µIU/mL equals 6.945 pmol/L. The converter above runs the exact factor at full precision and updates as you type; the swap button flips the direction.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert Insulin from µIU/mL to pmol/L?
Multiply µIU/mL by 6.945 — based on the international insulin standard (1 µIU/mL = 6.945 pmol/L); the exact factor varies slightly by assay. For example, 1 µIU/mL is 6.945 pmol/L. The converter above does this instantly and works both ways — type a value in either box. It uses the exact factor at full precision, so the result matches published clinical conversions.
What is a normal Insulin level?
Fasting insulin is typically about 2–25 µIU/mL (14–174 pmol/L); reference ranges are assay-specific. These are general adult figures only — the reference interval on your own lab report is what applies to you, and it can differ by lab, method, age and sex. The conversion table above runs from 2 to 50 µIU/mL, or 13.89 to 347.25 pmol/L, so a range quoted in either system can be lined up against your own figure.
Why is Insulin reported in different units?
Insulin is reported in µIU/mL (identical to mIU/L) in the US and pmol/L elsewhere. The two systems describe the same measurement, so a value converts exactly from one to the other with no loss of meaning — only the units and the number change. That is why guidelines, journals and lab reports from different countries quote different numbers for the same Insulin result. The two boxes above are labelled µIU/mL and pmol/L, so you can read a value in whichever system your own report uses.
Is this Insulin converter accurate and free?
Yes — this Insulin converter is both accurate and free. It applies the standard, published conversion factor at full double precision in your browser, with nothing uploaded or stored, and there is no sign-up or usage limit. It converts units only and does not interpret or diagnose results.
This is a unit-conversion reference tool, not a diagnosis or medical advice. Reference intervals are general adult guides that vary by laboratory, method and individual — always read your result against the range printed on your own report and discuss it with a qualified healthcare professional.
