QUICKI Calculator

Your details

Choose the unit your lab report uses. The calculator converts mmol/L to mg/dL internally.
Blood glucose measured after at least 8 hours of fasting.
mg/dL
Serum insulin measured after at least 8 hours of fasting. Also written as mIU/L - the units are numerically identical.

Your QUICKI is 0.3471 - reduced insulin sensitivity.

  • Values below 0.357 fall under the lower 95% limit seen in healthy adults. This band also spans the metabolic-syndrome cut points of 0.343 in men and 0.331 in women reported by Motamed et al. in 5,511 adults.
  • Your fasting glucose was 95.0 mg/dL and fasting insulin was 8.0 uU/mL.
  • Your estimated HOMA-IR is 1.87. HOMA-IR above 2.0 is commonly used as a threshold for insulin resistance, though laboratory and population norms vary.
  • QUICKI is a research and screening tool. It does not replace a clinical diagnosis - always discuss fasting lab results with your healthcare provider.

Next stepIf you are being monitored for metabolic risk, retest after any significant dietary or exercise change. Annual fasting labs are a common monitoring interval.
