The app supports both the mg/dL and mmol/L units of measurement, but blood glucose values in mmol/L currently can’t be manually entered or displayed in the app. While Apple works on a fix, users will be unable to enter new blood glucose values into the app but previously entered values will remain stored and accessible to third-party apps.
Apple’s Health app aggregates user-entered information and data from other apps and sensors through the HealthKit platform and displays it in a single interface. This is the second issue Apple has had with its new mobile health offerings — last month, a bug in HealthKit kept it from being released with iOS 8 as scheduled.
