This test measures key components related to insulin resistance, including:
- Glucose (Fasting)
- C-Peptide (Fasting)
- Beta Cell Function
- Insulin Sensitivity
- HOMA-IR Index
Who Should Consider This Test?
The HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance Index C-Peptide Model Test is recommended for individuals who exhibit symptoms of insulin resistance or are at risk of developing diabetes. Common risk factors include:
- Obesity
- Family history of diabetes
- Hypertension
- High cholesterol levels
- Physical inactivity
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the HOMA-IR test offers several benefits, including:
- Early detection of insulin resistance
- Guidance for lifestyle and dietary changes
- Informed treatment decisions for diabetes management
