Medical AIType 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes management is no longer only about glucose: the drugs that lower A1c now also have to earn their place on cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. This hub pairs the glycemic and metabolic tools with the outcome trials and drug comparisons that decide which agent to reach for.
Calculators in this area
Estimated average glucose (eAG) converts an HbA1c percentage into the average glucose it corresponds to, expressed in the same units patients see on a meter (mg/dL or mmol/L). It comes from the ADAG study regression. eAG is a population-level estimate of average glucose over the preceding 2 to 3 months, not a substitute for actual glucose monitoring, and it should not be confused with the CGM-derived glucose management indicator (GMI).
HOMA-IR is a simple fasting surrogate for insulin resistance derived by Matthews and colleagues in 1985. A healthy reference individual scores about 1; higher values suggest more insulin resistance. There is no single universal threshold: cutoffs vary with the insulin assay, population, age, and BMI, so the number is best read against your own laboratory's reference range and trended over time.

Medical AI returns evidence-grounded answers backed by real citations. It is a reference tool, and these terms describe how it should and should not be used.
01 Educational purpose
Medical AI is an information and reference tool intended for educational use only. The answers it returns are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified doctor or healthcare professional with any question concerning a medical condition.
02 Professional use
Medical AI is designed for use by practicing clinicians. It is not intended for direct patient use and is not a substitute for professional clinical judgment. Apply your own training and current guidelines to every decision an answer informs.
03 Privacy and data
We do not collect, store, or process personally identifiable patient information (PHI or PII). Do not enter names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, or any other patient identifiers into the composer.
04 Information currency
Medical knowledge evolves rapidly. Citations carry their publication date, so consult the primary source and the most recent clinical guideline before acting on anything material.
