HOMA IR Price in Bangladesh

What is HOMA IR?

HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance) evaluates insulin resistance using fasting glucose and insulin levels with the formula: HOMA-IR = (Fasting Insulin × Fasting Glucose) / 405. Higher values suggest increased insulin resistance, often associated with type 2 diabetes and metabolic conditions.

Testing requires fasting for 8–12 hours, and results may be influenced by factors like stress or medications. Interpretation should be done by a healthcare provider to ensure accuracy and context.

What to expect & how to prepare

HOMA IR is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your HOMA IR result rather than self-diagnosing.
