[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1555161, member: 52527"] You might like to read this paper [URL]https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/95/7/3347/2596446/The-Product-of-Triglycerides-and-Glucose-a-Simple[/URL] It seems to be referring to the same formula discussed in this thread but calls it the triglyceride glucose index. The paper says, "Our results show that TyG index closely mirrors the glucose clamp technique in the assessment of insulin sensitivity, suggesting that it could be useful to recognize insulin resistance among subjects with various degrees of glucose tolerance and body weight." You are therefore right that this is not a test of insulin resistance. However, this and other papers seem to suggest it could be used to identify people who have insulin resistance and are therefore at risk of diabetes. Whether it is useful in people with established diabetes is another matter. [/QUOTE]
