Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index

The TyG Index is a marker for insulin resistance, calculated using fasting triglyceride and glucose levels.

Formula:

TyG Index = ln [ (Triglycerides x Fasting Glucose) / 2 ]

Where:

• Triglycerides are in mg/dL
• Fasting Glucose is in mg/dL
• ln is the natural logarithm

Note: Ensure measurements are in mg/dL. Convert units if necessary (e.g., from mmol/L).

• Good (Low Risk): TyG less than 8.0
• Medium (Moderate Risk): TyG 8.0 to 8.8
• Bad (High Risk): TyG greater than 8.8

Notes:

• Ranges vary by population and study.
• Use mg/dL for triglycerides and glucose.
• Consult a doctor for personal advice.

I always have very low TRIG, say 30, but my fasting glucose is usually around 100.

ln {(30 x 100)/2} = 7.3

I’ve been carnivore since 2018, but I have a donut or something sweet once a week.
