Insulin Resistance By HOMA

Test Details

HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) estimates insulin resistance using fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels. It reflects how effectively the body uses insulin and helps assess the risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. HOMA-IR is a simple, non-invasive tool to evaluate insulin response without complex procedures.

It is an index of insulin resistance and reflects how efficiently the body uses insulin.

High values indicate insulin resistance, as seen in type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

Low values indicate increased insulin sensitivity, which is less common.

Used to assess diabetes risk, monitor insulin resistance in obese patients, and evaluate therapy response.

Factors affecting results include fasting status, stress, medications, pregnancy, and chronic illnesses.
