mine is 3 which is moderate insulin resistance.
fasting insulin is 12.3
fasting blood glucose 100
100 X 12.3/405 = 3
Since there is different views on where to place the borders between normal moderate and high insulin resistance, can we consider HOMA-IR as a reliable indicator?
It is a very simple test that gives a reasonable approximation of insulin resistance. To get a better picture of insulin resistance one would want to track the glucose and insulin response to foods over a period of time as they surge and return to normal. But due to cost that is not often done.
