Here’s an easy-to-use Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) Index Calculator.
(I don’t know anything about the website, and hope the calculator is accurate.)
Look up your fasting triglyceride and fasting glucose numbers from your recent blood tests, and plug the numbers into the calculator.
Make sure both numbers are mg/dL.

According to this calculator,
Less than 4.49 is considered optimal.
