The HOMA-IR test (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance) is a blood test that measures fasting glucose and insulin to determine how effectively your body uses insulin. It helps detect insulin resistance, a key indicator of prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or metabolic syndrome. It requires 8–12 hours of fasting.

KEY ASPECTS

Procedure: A fasting blood sample is taken, usually in the morning.
Components: The test analyzes Fasting Glucose and Fasting Insulin levels.
Interpreting Results:
- Optimal: A HOMA-IR score of 1.0 (range 0.5–1.4) indicates high sensitivity (ideal).
- Early Resistance: Scores above 1.9 suggest early insulin resistance.
- High Resistance: Generally, values
  2.5–3.0 indicate significant insulin resistance.
When to Test: Often recommended for individuals with obesity, PCOS, family history of diabetes, or symptoms of metabolic syndrome.
Cost: Generally, the test price ranges around ₹900 - ₹1000 in India.
