Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA- IR)

What it measures

Analysis of Pancreatic Endocrine Function and Diabetes Diagnosis

Clinical significance

HOMA-IR was calculated according to the formula: fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L). Low HOMA-IR means that you are sensitive to insulin. High HOMA-IR relates to your level of insulin resistance. The higher the number, the more resistant you are to the message of insulin.

<2.60 is a normal HOMA-IR range; 2.60–3.80 - “borderline high” without labeling these individuals as having insulin resistance; >3.80 - “high” having clear correlates of insulin resistance.

You can take steps to reverse insulin resistance and prevent type 2 diabetes:

1. Exercise. Go for at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity (like brisk walking) 5 or more days a week. 2. Get to a healthy weight. 3. Eat a healthy diet. 4. Take medications.
