🧪 QUICKI (Insulin Sensitivity)
Quantify insulin sensitivity with the QUICKI index.
QUICKI (Insulin Sensitivity)
Fasting insulin (µU/mL)
Fasting glucose (mg/dL)
When to use
Estimate insulin resistance from fasting values.
How it works
QUICKI = 1 / (log₁₀ insulin + log₁₀ glucose[mg/dL]). Lower values indicate more resistance.
Key points
- Correlates well with clamp-derived sensitivity.
- Population-specific thresholds apply.
- Convenient for large studies.
