HOMA INSULIN RESISTANCE INDEX

The test assesses insulin resistance, a key factor in conditions like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. This test calculates insulin resistance by analyzing fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin levels. Elevated HOMA-IR values indicate reduced insulin sensitivity, suggesting the body's inability to effectively use insulin for glucose regulation.
