HOMA INDEX

What is a HOMA Index Test?

A HOMA Index Test is a blood test used to assess insulin resistance and evaluate how well the body is using insulin. HOMA stands for Homeostatic Model Assessment, and it helps doctors understand the relationship between blood sugar and insulin levels.

This test is commonly recommended for people who may be at risk of diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, or PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). A HOMA Index test in Kekri helps in early identification of insulin resistance before diabetes develops.
The test is calculated using fasting blood sugar and fasting insulin values.
 

HOMA Index Test Parameters

The HOMA Index Test generally includes:

• Fasting Blood Glucose – Measures sugar level in blood after fasting
• Fasting Insulin – Measures insulin hormone level in blood
• HOMA-IR Calculation – Determines insulin resistance index

These values help doctors evaluate metabolic health and risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
