The triglyceride-glucose index. Built from two fasting numbers and studied widely as an insulin resistance surrogate.
| Result | Band |
|---|---|
| Under 4.50 | Lower |
| 4.50 to 4.90 | Intermediate |
| Above 4.90 | Higher |
TyG = ln(triglycerides × fasting glucose / 2), both in mg/dL. ⚠️ No single agreed cut point exists; published thresholds range roughly 4.5 to 4.9 and depend on the population studied.
BloodMarker reads your whole panel and tells you what the lines say together, which is the part no single calculation can do.

It is the natural log of triglycerides multiplied by fasting glucose, divided by two, with both values in mg/dL. It is used in research as a surrogate for insulin resistance.
Yes. Both inputs must be fasting values or the result means very little.
