Glossary Homeostasis Model Assessment

method to quantify insulin resistance using fasting glucose and insulin

The Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) is a method used to quantify insulin resistance and beta-cell function. It involves calculating an index based on fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, helping to assess how well the body maintains stable blood sugar levels. This is particularly useful in diagnosing and managing conditions like diabetes.
