Expert Tip

This is a simplified model. The full QDiabetes algorithm includes additional factors like medications, medical history, and deprivation indices.

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

Risk = Base risk ร— Age factor ร— BMI factor ร— Ethnicity factor ร— Family factor

Simplified scoring. South Asian ethnicity increases risk ~6x vs White. Family history ~2x. BMI > 30 increases substantially.

โ„น๏ธ About this Calculation

This clinical diabetes calculator assists with blood glucose monitoring, HbA1c conversion, glycemic load estimation, and insulin sensitivity evaluation based on standard endocrinology guidelines.

Variable Glossary

Input

Glucose & Insulin Values

Fasting glucose (mg/dL or mmol/L), HbA1c percentage, carbohydrate intake, or insulin units.

Parameter

Clinical Metrics

Estimated average glucose (eAG), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), or correction factor ratios.

How to Calculate Step-by-Step

1

Step 1

Select your input units (mg/dL vs mmol/L) or clinical measurement type.

2

Step 2

Enter recent lab results or current blood glucose readings.

3

Step 3

View the calculated HbA1c/eAG conversion, glycemic impact, or risk score immediately.

FAQ

What is the relationship between HbA1c and eAG?
HbA1c measures average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months. The ADA formula eAG = 28.7 ร— A1C - 46.7 converts this percentage into a daily blood glucose reading in mg/dL.
How is HOMA-IR interpreted for insulin resistance?
A HOMA-IR score below 1.0 indicates optimal insulin sensitivity, while scores above 1.9-2.5 suggest early to significant insulin resistance.
Can I use this calculator for medical insulin dosing?
Calculations are for educational and informational tracking. Insulin therapy must always follow specific prescriptions and sliding scales provided by your treating physician.
