Advanced QUICKI Calculator Formulas

Our calculator employs multiple scientifically validated formulas to provide comprehensive insulin resistance assessment. These formulas are based on extensive research and provide accurate insulin sensitivity measurements used in clinical practice worldwide.

📊 Core Insulin Resistance Calculation Formulas

QUICKI (Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index)

QUICKI = 1 ÷ [log(Fasting Insulin ΌU/mL) + log(Fasting Glucose mg/dL)]

Higher QUICKI values indicate better insulin sensitivity (normal range: 0.30-0.45)

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. Convert units if needed: Glucose to mg/dL, Insulin to ÎŒU/mL
  2. Calculate log(Fasting Insulin) + log(Fasting Glucose)
  3. Take reciprocal (1 divided by step 2 result)
  4. Result is QUICKI value (typically 0.25-0.45)

HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment - Insulin Resistance)

HOMA-IR = (Fasting Insulin ÎŒU/mL × Fasting Glucose mg/dL) ÷ 405

Lower HOMA-IR values indicate better insulin sensitivity (normal range: <2.5)

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. Ensure glucose is in mg/dL and insulin in ÎŒU/mL
  2. Multiply fasting insulin by fasting glucose
  3. Divide result by 405 (constant for mg/dL units)
  4. Result is HOMA-IR value (higher = more resistant)

HOMA-%β (Beta Cell Function)

HOMA-%β = (20 × Fasting Insulin ÎŒU/mL) ÷ (Fasting Glucose mg/dL - 63)

Measures pancreatic beta cell function (normal range: 100-300%)

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. Multiply fasting insulin by 20
  2. Subtract 63 from fasting glucose value
  3. Divide step 1 result by step 2 result
  4. Result shows beta cell function percentage

HOMA-%S (Insulin Sensitivity)

HOMA-%S = (22.5 × 18.18) ÷ (Fasting Insulin ÎŒU/mL × Fasting Glucose mmol/L)

Alternative insulin sensitivity measure (normal range: 50-150%)

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. Convert glucose to mmol/L if needed (mg/dL ÷ 18.18)
  2. Calculate numerator: 22.5 × 18.18 = 409.05
  3. Calculate denominator: Insulin × Glucose (mmol/L)
  4. Divide numerator by denominator for sensitivity %

Unit Conversion Formulas

Glucose Conversions:

mg/dL to mmol/L: mg/dL ÷ 18.18

mmol/L to mg/dL: mmol/L × 18.18

Insulin Conversions:

ÎŒU/mL to pmol/L: ÎŒU/mL × 6.945

pmol/L to ΌU/mL: pmol/L ÷ 6.945
