Matsuda Insulin Sensitivity Index (OGTT)

Matsuda insulin-sensitivity index from an OGTT: 10000 ÷ √(fasting glucose × fasting insulin × mean OGTT glucose × mean OGTT insulin).

Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.

Example

Fasting glucose
110 mg/dL
Fasting insulin
20 µU/mL
Mean OGTT glucose
180 mg/dL
Mean OGTT insulin
120 µU/mL

Result: Matsuda index 1.45 — suggests insulin resistance.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Interpretation
Lower = more insulin resistant; below ~2.5 is commonly read as resistance (population-dependent).

Formula
ISI = 10000 / √(fasting glucose·fasting insulin·mean glucose·mean insulin), glucose mg/dL, insulin µU/mL.
