Glucose Metabolism Interpreter

Provides a comprehensive metabolic assessment of blood glucose control and helps distinguish between common glucose metabolism disorders, including type 1, type 2, and type 3 diabetes, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, and reactive hypoglycemia.

Patient Adherence Checks

The patient needs to be fasted for 10 to 15 hours and not on insulin for this interpretation to work.

Interpretation details

HOMA2 Insulin Resistance: 000

HOMA2-IR provides the best estimate of the gold-standard insulin sensitivity test: euglycemic clamp.

How effectively your body uses insulin:

  • 0.4 - 0.6 - Too sensitive (malnutrition, marathon runners...)
  • 1.2 - 1.7 - Insulin resistance
  • 1.7 - 2.7 - Pre-diabetes likely
  • > 2.7 - Diabetes likely

How effectively your pancreas produces insulin to manage blood sugar (given as a percentage of expected output).

  • Elevated/High (or even normal) during early insulin resistance, when the pancreas can still compensate.
  • Decreased once the pancreas fails to compensate (late stage).

Triglycerides: 000 mg/dL

Triglycerides are blood fats formed from extra calories; high levels flag metabolic syndrome.

C-peptide/insulin: 000

C-peptide to insulin molar ratio is helpful in detecting exogenous insulin use, impaired hepatic insulin clearance and impaired C-peptide clearance by the kidneys.

Why this beats ChatGPT

All research is done by humans. AI was only used to refine the writing for better readability.

  • Optimal ranges, not just “normal”

    Generic AI uses normal lab ranges (based on population averages). This tool uses functional, best-outcome targets.

  • Evidence-locked math. Not hallucinations

    Generic AI chatbots don’t know which calculated indices are best or their optimal cutoff values.

  • Clinically significant differentials

    We run relevant differential diagnosis calculations, but only when it's clinically significant.

  • Privacy by default

    Everything happens in your browser and no personal or medical information leaves your computer.
