[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1554124, member: 216415"] I am sceptical about this calculation (admittedly I am sceptical about most things). It seems very convenient that it is BG x Trigs without any weighting factor so they must have equal significance. If you were tending towards diabetes then your BG might increase from say 5 to 7 but the normal range of Trigs is 0.45 to 1.82 ( a factor of 4) so the calculation is largely affected by Trigs. If for example your Trigs were 1.0 then you could have to have a BG of 13.73 and your IR would still be normal according to this calculation. [/QUOTE]
