What is a Homa Index?
HOMA-IR is a simple index calculated from your fasting blood sugar and fasting insulin. It puts a single number on how resistant your body is to insulin: a sensitive, early marker of the changes that lead to type-2 diabetes and drive PCOS, often detectable long before sugar levels rise.
Why take this test?
It is used to quantify insulin resistance and to track how it responds to diet, exercise, or treatment. It needs a fasting glucose and a fasting insulin taken together.
- PCOS or suspected insulin resistance
- Prediabetes or a strong family history of diabetes
- Central weight gain or metabolic syndrome
- Tracking response to lifestyle or metabolic treatment
Normal reference ranges
| Parameter | Healthy reference range |
|---|---|
| Insulin sensitive | Below 1.0 |
| Early / average resistance | 1.0 - 2.9 |
| Significant resistance | 3.0 or higher (cut-offs vary by population) |
Ranges are indicative for adults. Your report carries the lab-specific reference range and is reviewed by a LabONE pathologist; always interpret results with your doctor.
