OGIS

Complex formula requiring G0, G120, G180, I0, I120 and I180 (3 h OGTT) or G0, G90, G120, I0, I90 and I120 (2 h OGTT). The formula includes six constants

exp[2.63 − 0.28ln(I0) − 0.31ln(TG0)]

Stumvoll

0.222 − 0.00333 × BMI − 0.0000779 × I120 − 0.000422 × age

[23]

Gutt

m/[Gm × log10(Im)], in which m = [75 000 mg + (G0 − G120) × 0.19 × body weight]/120 min

  1. Subscript numbers refer to minutes of OGTT and subscript letter m to mean fasting and 2-h concentrations. Units are mmol/L for glucose except mg/dL for Gutt, mmol/L for TG, mU/L for insulin except pmol/L for Stumvoll and kg for body weight
  2. G glucose, I insulin, TG triglyceride
