Understand Your Metabolic Health
Insulin resistance occurs when your bodyās cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar and insulin levels. It is a major early indicator of type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other metabolic disorders. Our HOMA-IR test uses fasting glucose and insulin levels to estimate insulin sensitivity, helping to detect potential issues before symptoms appear.
Why This Test Matters?
Detecting insulin resistance early can help you make lifestyle changes or begin treatment to prevent the progression to diabetes or cardiovascular disease. This test provides clear insight into how your body is managing glucose and insulin.

You may benefit from this test if you:
- Have a family history of diabetes or PCOS
- Are overweight or have abdominal fat
- Experience fatigue, cravings, or irregular periods
- Have high triglycerides or low HDL cholesterol
- Are concerned about your risk of metabolic syndrome
- Want to proactively monitor your metabolic health
