2. Homeostatic model assessment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment

   IR is insulin resistance and %β is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL. [7] Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. [2] This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). [2]

3. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

   Glucose homeostasis, when operating normally, restores the blood sugar level to a narrow range of about 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L (79 to 110 mg/dL) (as measured by a fasting blood glucose test). [10] The global mean fasting plasma blood glucose level in humans is about 5.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL); [11] [12] however, this level fluctuates throughout the day ...

   The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...

   It has the advantage of that it can be obtained from a fasting blood sample, and is the preferred method for certain types of clinical research. There are no documented reference value for QUICKI. [1] In one study, 95% of healthy persons had a QUICKI index above 0.357. [2] Another study concluded that QUICKI index 0.3469 or below should be used ...

6. Insulin tolerance test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_tolerance_test

   An insulin tolerance test (ITT) is a medical diagnostic procedure during which insulin is injected into a patient's vein, after which blood glucose is measured at regular intervals. This procedure is performed to assess pituitary function, adrenal function, insulin sensitivity , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and sometimes for other purposes.
