Measure your insulin sensitivity using the QUICKI index
The QUICKI (Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index) is a simple yet powerful marker of insulin sensitivity calculated from fasting insulin and glucose levels.
QUICKI is a validated index that measures how effectively your cells respond to insulin. Higher values indicate better insulin sensitivity.
QUICKI [ > ] 0.357: Insulin Sensitive | 0.33-0.357: Normal | [ < ] 0.33: Insulin Resistant
Fasting values should be taken after 8-12 hours without food or drinks (except water). Test in the morning for most accurate results.
Better insulin sensitivity is associated with improved metabolic health, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, and better weight management.
