Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)

  • 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
