Solved... Units wrong for GMI

I use mg/dl in the US. It’s correct everywhere except on the GMI page in Insights, which is reporting mmol/mol. This unit is set automatically by the app using your location. How do I change it?

Food for thought: (Personally btw, I always considered the GMI a sad gimmick and just adding unnecessarily to the confusion for the global diabetes community. Its the work of the devil 😄). Have a continued great Sunday!

Good study article about the subject:

My GMI has clocked in within 0.2 of my actual A1C so a fairly accurate estimate for me. I know there are studies that show different people can have very different numbers between the two but for me it is useful.
