Most A1c tools convert units; few interpret. Here's what each band means, why two identical A1c readings can tell different stories, and what 5.7% actually signals.
Most lab panels skip fasting insulin. The TyG index uses triglycerides and glucose you already have to surface insulin resistance before A1c catches it.
Most cholesterol calculators give you one ratio. Three matter — and one (TG:HDL) doubles as an insulin-resistance signal hiding on every standard lipid panel.
