Embodiments of the invention include a quick conversion guide including a housing having a plurality of openings disposed through the housing; and an insert having a first measurement range, a second measurement range, and an indication range provided on a surface of the insert. The insert may be disposed in the housing such that a first measurement from the first range, a second measurement from the second range, and an indicator from the indication range are simultaneously viewable through the plurality of openings. Embodiments of the invention include a method of calculating a blood sugar level using a conversion guide including locating a hemoglobin A1c value on an insert disposed in a housing of the conversion guide; displaying the hemoglobin A1c value in a first window of the housing; and displaying a blood sugar value in a second window of the housing simultaneously with the hemoglobin A1c value. The blood sugar value may be a calculated value based on the hemoglobin A1c value.
