HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance Calculator
HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance Calculator is a health and wellness calculator that helps you calculate homa-ir insulin resistance values from your input data. The formula used is: HOMA-IR = (fasting glucose mg/dL × fasting insulin µU/mL) ÷ 405. Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
Rates and fees change frequently. Always confirm the current figures
with the official authority before relying on this result.
- Reference thresholds vary by laboratory. Interpret with a clinician.
Formula
HOMA-IR = (fasting glucose mg/dL × fasting insulin µU/mL) ÷ 405
- HOMA-IR Insulin Resistance Calculator gives you a fast estimate using your inputs and updates instantly when you change any value.
- Formula: HOMA-IR = (fasting glucose mg/dL × fasting insulin µU/mL) ÷ 405
- Input definitions: • Fasting glucose: the numeric fasting glucose used in the calculation • Fasting insulin: the numeric fasting insulin used in the calculation
- Manual method: write down each input, apply the formula step by step, then compare your manual result with the calculator output.
- Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
- This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
- Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
- Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.
Example Calculation
Inputs
- Fasting glucose: 100 mg/dL
- Fasting insulin: 10 µU/mL
Suppose you enter: Fasting glucose = 100, Fasting insulin = 10. The calculator applies the formula (HOMA-IR = (fasting glucose mg/dL × fasting insulin µU/mL) ÷ 405) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
