HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance

Estimates insulin resistance from fasting glucose and insulin — an early signal years before diabetes.

Awaiting clinical review. Results are based on validated formulas but pending physician verification.

How this is calculated

HOMA-IR = fasting insulin (µU/mL) × fasting glucose ÷ 405 (mg/dL) or ÷ 22.5 (mmol/L). Higher means more insulin resistance.
