🩸 HOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance)
Estimate insulin resistance from fasting glucose and insulin with HOMA-IR.
HOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance)
Fasting glucose (mg/dL)
Fasting insulin (µU/mL)
When to use
Assess insulin resistance in metabolic and endocrine work-ups.
How it works
HOMA-IR = (fasting glucose mg/dL × fasting insulin µU/mL) / 405.
Key points
- Cut-offs vary by population and assay (~2.5–2.9).
- Requires true fasting samples.
- Use trends and local references, not a universal threshold.
