HOMA-IR is an index derived from fasting glucose and fasting insulin, often used as an educational proxy for insulin resistance.

What units does this calculator support?

Glucose can be entered in mg/dL or mmol/L. Insulin is entered in µIU/mL (mIU/L).

Are there universal cut-offs for HOMA-IR?

No. Cut-offs vary by population, lab methods, and clinical context. This tool shows broad educational bands only.

Is this medical advice?

No. This tool is for educational purposes only. Discuss lab results and diagnosis with a qualified clinician.

HOMA-IR (Educational Insulin Resistance Index)

Enter fasting glucose and fasting insulin to calculate HOMA-IR — a commonly used index derived from fasting labs. This tool is educational only and should be interpreted with context (lab methods, population, and clinical situation).

Not medical advice: HOMA-IR is not a diagnosis by itself. Discuss results with a qualified clinician, especially if you have symptoms or abnormal glucose/HbA1c.
