Importance: Measures blood sugar levels after fasting for at least 8 hours; used to diagnose diabetes and insulin resistance.
Importance: Measures blood sugar levels after fasting for at least 8 hours; used to diagnose diabetes and insulin resistance.
Importance: Measures blood sugar levels two hours after eating; helps assess how well the body processes glucose.
Importance: Measures insulin levels in the blood; important for diagnosing insulin resistance and diabetes.
Importance: Indicates how much insulin is being produced by the pancreas; useful for differentiating between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Importance: A calculation used to assess insulin resistance based on fasting glucose and insulin levels.
Importance: Estimates pancreatic beta-cell function; higher values indicate better insulin secretion capability.
Importance: Assesses insulin sensitivity; indicates how effectively the body utilizes insulin.
Importance: Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) is an index used to assess insulin sensitivity.
Importance: Measures average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 weeks; useful for monitoring glucose control.
Importance: Measures levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol in the blood; low levels can indicate poor glycemic control.
