Calculators

HOMA IR – Insulin Resistance Calculator

HOMA-IR stands for Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance. The meaningful part of the acronym is “insulin resistance”. It marks for both the presence and extent of any insulin resistance that you might currently express. It is a terrific way to reveal the dynamic between your baseline (fasting) blood sugar and the responsive hormone insulin. See The Blood Code book for further insight about your result.

Healthy Range: 0.5–1.5
Less than 1.0 means you are insulin-sensitive, which is optimal

A range of 1-1.9 is within “Normal limits”

Above 1.9 indicates early insulin resistance.

Above 2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance.

The HOMA-IR calculation requires U.S. standard units. To convert from international S.I. units use the fields below (your conversions will automatically be entered above):

Glucose
mmol/L

=

mg/dL

Insulin: pmol/L to uIU/mL, divide by (÷) 6.945
Glucose: mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by (x) 18

*[Insulin Units: mU/L is an alternate and equivalent way to state uU/mL or uIU/mL for Insulin]*

TG:HDL – Heart Disease Risk Calculator

The HDL, on it’s own, represents how well your liver is producing the useful and healthful HDL-cholesterol. But if you have high TG, your HDL usually drops. Conversely, as you move toward a healthier metabolism, your TG will reduce and your HDL will go up. The ratio between the two is important.

The Blood Code Reference Ranges
Optimal range: 0.5–1.9
Some insulin resistance: 2.0–3.0
Significant insulin resistance and heart disease risk is found at ratios >3.0

The TG:HDL calculation requires U.S. standard units. To convert from international S.I. units use the fields below (your conversions will automatically be entered above):

This ratio, like HOMA-IR, requires U.S. standard measurements; therefore you must convert into U.S. standard units.
HDL: mmol/L to mg/dL: multiply by (x) 39
TG: mmol/L to mg/dL: multiply by (x) 89
