Calculate HOMA-IR from fasting glucose and insulin

Description

Uses the simple formula Glucose(mM) \cdot Insulin(uU/mL) /22.5

Usage

calculate_homair(
  glucose,
  insulin,
  glucose_units = "mg/dl",
  insulin_units = "uU/ml"
)

Arguments

glucose	fasting glucose (mg/dL)
insulin	fasting insulin (uU/mL)
glucose_units	if units are not in "mg/dl", can indicate here for unit conversion (options "mg/dl" or "mmol/l")
insulin_units	if units are not in "uU/ml", can indicate here for unit conversion (options "uU/ml" or "pmol/l")

Value

HOMA-IR estimate of insulin sensitivity, as a single numeric value

Examples

calculate_homair(glucose = c(93), insulin = c(12.8))
calculate_homair(93, 12.8)
calculate_homair(100, 5) # 1.23; ex from Gutch 2015
calculate_homair(93, NA) # error
calculate_homair(5.167, 76.8, glucose_units = "mmol/l", insulin_units = "pmol/l")
