Plotting effects in original units

Hi everyone. I am using 'glmer' function in lme4 package to run a glmm with
rescaled explanatory variables (i.e. I used 'scale' function to centre and
standardise each variable). I am now trying to use the output of the
'allEffects' function in the 'effects' package to calculate and plot the
effects. For each explanatory variable I want to extract the fitted values
(and the confidence interval) and plot them but labeling the axes in the
original units. I don't want to use the default plot function because I am
trying to make custom-made figures. Is there a way around having to use the
inverse of the link function and then backtransforming using the inverse of
the scaling to get the values I am looking for? I'd appreciate any tips.

Best,

Mariano
