The HOMA (Homeostatic Model Assessment) Index Insulin Resistance Test is a blood test used to assess a person's insulin resistance level. Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin, which is responsible for helping the body use glucose (sugar) for energy. As a result, people with insulin resistance may have high levels of glucose in their blood, which can increase their risk for developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems. The test is based on the principle that the body's glucose and insulin levels are closely related and that when the body is functioning normally, glucose and insulin levels should be in balance.
