Queries about this test
- Ans: Typically, the Homa-IR value ranges from 0.5 to 2.5, with lower values indicating better insulin sensitivity and higher values indicating insulin resistance.
- Ans: To calculate the Homa-IR Insulin Resistance Index, two values are needed: fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels. These can be obtained through a simple blood test. The formula used for the calculation is as follows: Homa-IR = (Fasting Glucose x Fasting Insulin) / 22.5
- Ans: The Homa ir insulin sensitivity test measures this resistance by calculating the HOMA-IR index. This index takes into account fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels, providing an estimation of how well your body utilizes glucose.
- Ans: Homa- ir stands for Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance.
