QUICKI Calculator (Insulin Sensitivity)
Health & FitnessCalculate the QUICKI index, an alternative estimate of insulin sensitivity from fasting glucose and insulin.
QUICKI
QUICKI index. Educational reference only, not a substitute for clinical judgment.
Interpretation
General interpretation. Published reference range is roughly 0.45 in healthy individuals down to 0.30 in diabetes. Below 0.339 - suggests insulin resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is QUICKI used for?
QUICKI (Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index) is a mathematically transformed alternative to HOMA-IR, also using fasting glucose and insulin, developed to have a more linear relationship with directly measured insulin sensitivity.
How does QUICKI compare to HOMA-IR?
Both use the same 2 fasting lab values, but QUICKI applies logarithms to produce a value that correlates more linearly with true insulin sensitivity measurements. Higher QUICKI values indicate better insulin sensitivity, the opposite direction from HOMA-IR.
What QUICKI value suggests insulin resistance?
Values below about 0.339 are commonly used as a threshold suggestive of insulin resistance, with a typical published reference range spanning about 0.45 in healthy individuals down to 0.30 in people with diabetes.
Is this calculator a substitute for medical advice?
No. This is an educational reference implementation of the standard QUICKI formula, not a substitute for a physicians clinical assessment.
