The HOMA IR; Insulin Resistance Index test offers a noninvasive means to assess insulin sensitivity. The HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) calculation involves a mathematical model (calculated score). This method takes into account fasting glucose and insulin levels. It gives a quantitative measure of insulin resistance. The higher an individual's score, the more resistant they are to the action of insulin, indicating an increased risk for type 2 diabetes.

The Insulin, Fasting test checks the levels of insulin hormone in the blood after fasting for 8-12 hours. This hormone is made by the pancreas, which controls blood sugar levels. This test helps check how well your body is using insulin. It also helps determine your risk for insulin resistance (where the body does not respond properly to insulin).
