HOMA-IR Calculator

Your details

Choose the unit that matches your lab report.
Blood glucose measured after at least 8 hours without food or caloric drinks. Use the value from your lab report.
mg/dL
Serum insulin measured at the same fasting blood draw. Also reported as uIU/mL, which is numerically equal to mU/L.

Your HOMA-IR is 1.78, in the normal to borderline range.

  • Most clinical studies use a cut-off of 2.0 to 2.9 for insulin resistance. Scores below 2.0 are generally considered normal, though thresholds vary by population.
  • Your QUICKI index is 0.350, in the borderline range (above 0.45 is optimal).
  • Your HOMA-beta is 107.0%, an estimate of pancreatic beta-cell function (100% approximates normal function in the original model).
  • No single universal cut-off for HOMA-IR is accepted across all populations. Asian populations tend to have meaningful insulin resistance at lower values (around 1.4 to 2.0). Always interpret your score in the context of your full clinical picture.

Next stepRecheck at your next fasting blood draw, especially if you have a family history of type 2 diabetes or other metabolic risk factors.
