  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

    In blood-glucose levels, insulin lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood. The lower blood-glucose level (a product of the insulin secretion) triggers glucagon to be secreted, and repeats the cycle. [23] In order for blood glucose to be kept stable, modifications to insulin, glucagon, epinephrine and cortisol are made.

  4. Insulin index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_index

    The Insulin Index is not the same as a glycemic index (GI), which is based exclusively on the digestible carbohydrate content of food, and represents a comparison of foods in amounts with equal digestible carbohydrate content (typically 50 g). The insulin index compares foods in amounts with equal overall caloric content (240 kcal or 1000 kJ).

    “Fasting can [also] help reduce inflammation and promote weight loss, lowering fasting insulin levels and decreasing cardiovascular risks,” Costa adds. Stages Of Fasting

  6. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

    Diabetes mellitus type 1 is caused by insufficient or non-existent production of insulin, while type 2 is primarily due to a decreased response to insulin in the tissues of the body (insulin resistance). Both types of diabetes, if untreated, result in too much glucose remaining in the blood (hyperglycemia) and many of the same complications.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_index

    Simultaneous fasting measurements of insulin and glucose in conjunction with mathematical modelling (SPINA) [9] If clamp investigations are used the disposition index is defined as the product of the area under the insulin response curve ( A U C Δ I n s u l i n {\displaystyle AUC_{\Delta Insulin}} ) and the insulin sensitivity index ( ISI ...

  9. Impaired fasting glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impaired_fasting_glucose

    Impaired fasting glucose is a type of prediabetes, in which a person's blood sugar levels during fasting are consistently above the normal range, but below the diagnostic cut-off for a formal diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. [2] Together with impaired glucose tolerance, it is a sign of insulin resistance.
