What is a HOMA-IR Test?

The Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) test is a calculation used to assess how well your body responds to insulin. This test uses a mathematical formula that combines the results from two blood measurements to create a score indicating your level of insulin resistance.

The HOMA-IR test helps detect insulin resistance, a condition where your body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin, which can be an early warning sign for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
