quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)
Last reviewed 10/2020
- quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)
- based on fasting glucose and insulin measurements
- QUICKI is derived by calculating the inverse of the sum of the logarithmically
expressed values of fasting insulin and glucose:
- 1 /[log(fasting glucose) + log(fasting insulin)] . It measures insulin
sensitivity, which is the inverse of insulin resistance
- a value of less than 0.339 indicates insulin resistance
- both HOMA-IR and QUICKI compensate for fasting hyperglycemia, and the results for the indices correlate reasonably well with the euglycemic clamp technique
- 1 /[log(fasting glucose) + log(fasting insulin)] . It measures insulin
sensitivity, which is the inverse of insulin resistance
- based on fasting glucose and insulin measurements
