How to use it

Estimate HOMA-IR from fasting glucose and fasting insulin using the standard formula: (fasting glucose * fasting insulin) / 405. This page explains the result in plain language without diagnosing a condition.
Use this as a conversation starter with your clinician, not as a diagnosis.
