The Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) Index test is a diagnostic tool used to assess insulin resistance, a key component of various metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The test is calculated based on fasting glucose and insulin levels and provides valuable insight into the body\'s ability to respond to insulin.During the HOMA-IR Index test, a fasting blood sample is collected from the patient. This sample is used to measure fasting glucose and insulin levels. The HOMA-IR Index is then calculated using a formula that takes into account the fasting glucose and insulin values.The HOMA-IR Index is a valuable tool for evaluating insulin resistance and monitoring metabolic health. Higher HOMA-IR values indicate reduced sensitivity to insulin, which is often associated with conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular risk.Scheduling the HOMA-IR Index test through our online platform provides a convenient way to access this diagnostic tool. By assessing insulin resistance, this test empowers both healthcare professionals and patients to understand their metabolic health, make lifestyle changes, and initiate appropriate interventions to manage or prevent conditions related to insulin resistance.
