How it works
HOMA1-IR = fasting insulin (µIU/mL) × fasting glucose (mmol/L) ÷ 22.5. With glucose in mg/dL, divide the product by 405.

Understanding your result
HOMA1-IR approximates insulin resistance from fasting laboratory values. There is no universal diagnostic cut-off: interpretation varies with population, assay and clinical context and should be performed by a health professional.
