Laboratory Tests
HOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance)
HOMA-IR is a calculation that combines your fasting glucose and fasting insulin results to estimate how well your body responds to insulin. It is a simple way to gauge insulin resistance without specialised testing.
A higher HOMA-IR may indicate insulin resistance, an early sign of metabolic strain that can develop well before blood sugar becomes abnormal. Identifying it early offers a useful opportunity to discuss lifestyle and follow-up, and the result is interpreted alongside your other metabolic tests.
This explanation is for general information and is not medical advice. Your results are always interpreted by a doctor.
