Easily calculate the Triglyceride-glucose index using triglyceride and fasting-glucose values with this nifty calculator offered by Dr. Dicken Weatherby and his team at OptimalDX.
The TyG Index calculator is a tool for estimating insulin resistance, a key factor in type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. It uses fasting triglyceride and glucose levels (both in mg/dL) to compute the index using the formula: TyG Index = log10(Triglycerides × Glucose/2). This is an excellent tool for estimating insulin resistance, which is fundamental in metabolic health assessment.
