HOMA-IR: The Most Important Test You've Never Heard OF

HOMA-IR stands for homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance

It's essentially a measure of how hard the body is working to keep your glucose and insulin in balance

HOMA-IR is calculated by taking a fasting glucose and multiplying that number by a fasting insulin level and the total of which is divided by a constant 22.5

This video explains insulin resistance and the need to have this valuable test

Fasting glucose x fasting insulin/ 22.5

Optimal Range: 1.0 (0.5–1.4)
· Less than 1.0 means you are insulin-sensitive which is optimal.
· Above 1.9 indicates early insulin resistance.
· Above 2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance.
