Frequently Asked Questions

Why HOMA-IR?
Matthews 1985 — gold-standard surrogate for insulin resistance without IV-clamp test. Uses fasting glucose × insulin. Strong correlation with euglycemic clamp (gold standard) for screening. Public-domain formula, calculated by every metabolic clinic.
What if my fasting insulin isn't on standard panel?
Most US labs DON'T include fasting insulin by default — only fasting glucose. You typically have to ASK for it. Cost: $20-80. Critical for early detection — fasting insulin rises years before fasting glucose. Push your doctor.
How to lower HOMA-IR?
Resistance training 2-3×/wk (Aoki 2014 — 30% IR drop in 12 weeks). Lower carb intake (especially refined). 16:8 TRE (Sutton 2018). Mediterranean diet. Sleep 7-9h. Each: 10-30% HOMA-IR drop. Stack effects compound.
