Worked Example: Clinical / Physiology Scenario: HOMA-IR & QUICKI Index
Compute HOMA-IR, HOMA-%B, and QUICKI from fasting insulin (μIU/mL) and glucose (mg/dL).
- Enter lab values, anthropometric measurements, or performance test metrics.
- Evaluate the reference equation: HOMA-IR = (FastingInsulin_μIU_mL × FastingGlucose_mg_dL) / 405; QUICKI = 1 / [ log10(Insulin) + log10(Glucose) ].
- Inspect the primary classification, supporting indices, and 3 SVG charts.
Result: Computes HOMA-IR & QUICKI Index via HOMA-IR = (FastingInsulin_μIU_mL × FastingGlucose_mg_dL) / 405; QUICKI = 1 / [ log10(Insulin) + log10(Glucose) ].

HOMA-IR, HOMA-%B & QUICKI Fasting Insulin Resistance Index Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Compute HOMA-IR, HOMA-%B, and QUICKI from fasting insulin (μIU/mL) and glucose (mg/dL).
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Fasting Insulin Uiu Ml: Fasting serum insulin in μIU/mL (or mU/L).
- Fasting Glucose Mg Dl: Fasting plasma glucose in mg/dL.
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance Score is 2.78 HOMA-IR. The calculation follows HOMA-IR & QUICKI Index Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Fasting Insulin Uiu Ml from 11.5 μIU/mL to 12.65 μIU/mL changes HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance Score from 2.78 HOMA-IR to 3.06 HOMA-IR. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses peer-reviewed clinical and sports physiology formulas.
- For educational and informational reference only; clinical scores do not replace physician judgment or laboratory reference ranges.
Scope: Global Clinical & Sports Science Consensus Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
