TyG (Insulin Resistance) Index
How to use this calculator
Enter fasting triglycerides and fasting glucose from a standard blood panel — both values need to be from a fasting draw (typically 8-12 hours without food) for this to be accurate.
What your result means
The TyG index is a simple, widely-validated proxy for insulin resistance that only needs two common values, unlike HOMA-IR which requires a fasting insulin assay. A value above roughly 4.5-4.7 is commonly cited in validation studies as indicating likely insulin resistance, even when fasting glucose alone looks normal.
What people say
"My glucose looked normal but TyG flagged something to watch — brought it up at my next checkup."
— Renata P.
"Simpler than HOMA-IR and I already had both numbers from my last panel."
— Hassan M.
