Preface

gold 1sep2021 Here are some calculations for converting HOMA-IR measurement from average blood glucose mg/dl over a 3 month period. Table is in US Units for Blood Glucose etc. Console program outputs data as table in TCL table format and comma delimited spreadsheet.


Introduction

Here are TCL calculations on the equation converting HOMO-IR from Average Blood Glucose mg/dl. HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance) is an indirect measurement that tells you and your doctor how much insulin your pancreas needs to make to control your blood sugar levels. the formula is HOMA_IR = expr { $insulin * $glucose * $scale_factor} . $scale_factor is (1/405.). Example calculation as HOMA_IR = expr { $insulin * $glucose * $scale_factor }, expr { 4 * 100 * $scale_factor }, rounds to 1.0 . Console program example demo was written on Windows 10, working under TCL version 8.6 Table is in US Units for Blood Glucose etc. As a peg point, 5 HbA1c units converts to 100 mg/dl abbreviation for milligrams per deciliter. Note. This Diabetes Care field is rapidly changing, one needs to check in at ADA professional.diabetes.org and pubmed search < HOMO-IR > for the latest up to date info.


European SI units as best understood. The HOMA-IR calculations here requires U.S. standard units.

To convert component terms ( $insulin & $glucose) from international S.I. units:
Insulin: pmol/L to uIU/mL, divide by (÷) 6
Glucose: mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by (x) 18

ADA Quotes. Therefore, to change glucose from mg/dL to mmol/L, one divides by 18.016 (usually rounded off to 18), and values are multiplied by 18 to switch from mmol/L to mg/dL. For example, 126 mg/dL is equivalent to 7.0 mmol/L, and 40 mg/dL is 2.2 mmol/L.
