Insulin resistance can lead to numerous health issues, but how do you know if you have it? Find out about HOMA-IR, the best test for insulin resistance.

2:40 Why is HOMA-IR the best test for insulin resistance?
In this video, I’m going to tell you about the best test for insulin resistance called the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance, or HOMA-IR.
The body works best in a state of homeostasis. This means that all of the body’s internal functions like blood pressure, blood sugars, temperature, and pulse rate all remain constant.
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body stops the absorption of insulin as a protective mechanism against high levels of insulin in the blood. HOMA-IR measures how hard the body is working to achieve normal glucose levels and maintain homeostasis.
A high HOMA-IR signifies high insulin resistance and a low HOMA-IR signifies low insulin resistance.
Sometimes when you start a keto diet, you may notice that your blood sugars are high. This is actually because you are correcting insulin resistance. Your body no longer has a high level of insulin pushing the blood sugars down.
The HOMA-IR is a great baseline test to determine your insulin levels, especially when you’re starting a keto diet. It can also offer clarity and peace of mind if your blood sugars rise when you start keto.

I asked for the blood test for HOMO IR. Labcorp said they had no code and my dr could not find one. How can I get the blood test done?

@aliciastanley5582 Год назад

@@karenorr3050try asking for HomA IR. That’s the correct name. If they don’t have it then google independent blood testing labs near me. That will lead you to online companies that will set everything up for you for a fee and tell you where, locally, you ca have blood drawn. The online company will send you a form to give the lab when it’s drawn and they will bill the online company who will then send you the results with an explanation of the results.

@b9humor Год назад

U left out 3 items of importance: 1. How is the test done? Blood, saliva, urine, or? 2. Where is the test done? Hospital, office, home? 3. How does this test compare to the HbA1c test? Better, worse, same? Please inform.

Dr. Berg, I wish you wouldve explained that you can only get the insulin test done at the doctors office or even the HOMA-IR calculation and results once calculated. I was looking for a HOMA IR testing kit for home, not realizing I had to get it from the doctor. Explanation is great; just need to elaborate on when you say " just do this test..", it is at the doctors office. Thanks for all you do!

Dr.Berg. you have changed my life forever. I have been to numerous specialists and wasted thousands of dollars. And no one has ever been able to fix my insulin resistance, pcos, and hypothyroidism. Since you have created these educational videos and gave me the tools I needed. I have completely taken control of my health. I have lost 70 Lbs, with your intermittent fasting, healthy Keto, and supplement recommendations. My labs are perfect for the first time in 18 years. No more insulin resistance, or cholesterol issues. I wish I could thank you in person. Forever grateful to you.

@kellylee514 24 дня назад

Congratulations on such wonderful success. I am 54 and battling Hashimoto's and now my A1c is going up and I can't for the life of me figure it out. The doctors are clueless. They just want to try metformin & weight loss drugs. I'm 193 lbs at 5'6". May I ask for more detail on how you corrected your issues please? What supplementations are you using? I've tried the healthy keto / intermittent fasting from 8pm-Noon and it worked great years ago but now not so much. Thank you in advance.

@michelecavalca4028 Месяц назад

Hello from Italy, just did my blood works after 5 moths of keto diet and intermittent fastings and my HOMA IR turned out to be 1.2 (92 fasting glucose and 5.3 insulin). What I am still not happy with is my HbA1c which turned out to be 5.2 : it's a good value but still quite far from my goal which is not more than 4.8 or lower. I have lost 33 pounds and my blood pressure has dropped by 30 from 140/75 to 110/68 and overall I'm feeling way better. Tryglicerys scored a 48 after eating no less than 60 eggs a month which is pretty counter-intuitive for mainstream guidelines. Thank you very much Dr. Berg for your precious advices ;)

My dr told me last time. You have to eat carbohydrates. So you see it’s hard for me I’m not a dr etc. But will Do my best. Thank you.

@oliverxhmll 6 лет назад

Its really simple and u dont have to be intimidated. I'd recommend doing 16:8(u eat 2 or 3 meals in 8 hours and then fast for 16). Eat enough fat and u wont be hungry. Remember it takes time to heal insulin resistance. Its fat in ur cells that ur body wont allow itself to release if ur insulin levels keep being high. So when you have periods of not eating ur insulin lowers itself and ur body starts functioning properly. Dr Berg has videos on intermittent fasting. U can try 20:4 if u have a bad case of insulin resistance

@JH-lz4ky 6 лет назад

One thing that was slowing my weight loss was to much protein. More than 5-8 oz. of protein will spike insulin. It helps to eat your protein with fat. Hope this helps and keep watching Dr Bergs videos and you will gain understanding over time.

All good too! Took awhile like you said and not knowing about this fact we were taking 1/2 metformin daily to get the levels down. Funny, didn't work! So now it's settled off and we're happier.

Thank You Dr. Berg for answering my question without me having to ask lol. I've been doing Keto + IF for just under a year, and had lost 70 lbs up until May 1st. I have Type 2 Diabetes So after learning from you, & Dr. Jason Fung how insulin prevents fat burning I quit taking my insulin. Also began incorporating OMAD 3 - 4 days per week. Have never felt better. More energy, better sleep, etc. Since doing so I have lost 15 lbs & 2" off my waist. But I noticed my blood sugar levels had gone from avg. 4.2 - 5.2 mmol/L while I was on insulin To avg. 5.7 - 6.4 mmol/L since I've been off. So I was wondering why, and how long it would last. But you just explained why. - Because my body is repairing my Insulin Resistance and so there is more glucose in my blood since there is less insulin to lower the level. Hopefully it won't take much longer cuz I want to see that 4.2 - 5.2 mmol/L range on a steady basis.

Therefore> Damage from high Insulin is more damaging and serious than damage from having high blood sugar

@sandrabentley1420 5 лет назад

Yes. Insulin resistance starts years before you see a change in glucose readings. You can have low glucose readings but high insulin level. The effects of high insulin on the body can begin to show way before you are diagnosed as diabetic. I.e. blurred vision, retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney problems etc. Dr's talk about glucose, it It's actually insulin they should be looking at as well, perhaps more so.

@contrarian717 5 лет назад

@@sandrabentley1420 but would insulin not reflect on the A1c in a large way? The correlation is about, say 75%, yes? So is A1c not the easy way to test for both sugar+insulin? You thoughts please thanks.

@sandrabentley1420 5 лет назад

@@contrarian717 I don't think so Carel. A1C is really just a 3 month snapshot of your blood glucose level, whereas insulin is the true test of how much of this hormone is resistant or sensitive to glucose. A person could have had insulin resistance for 10 years or more but you would not necessarily know that by doing a fasting glucose or A1C. Insulin levels are a PRE cursor for having glucose intolerance or not. So apparently we should all be getting an insulin test and see where that stands in relation to glucose and A1C. Then it can be determined if the person is diabetic, pre diabetic or not. I could have good fasting blood glucose, good A1C and have high insulin levels. It is the insulin that must be controlled.

It’s so disappointing to have these doctors be close minded. I took my diabetic sister to the doctor and they bonded over their love for Coca-Cola!

My doctor said she didn't know what a HOMA IR test was and therefore wouldn't add it to my blood work. I'm so frustrated. Don't know where to turn for help.

what are the recommended ranges of insulin level to keep healthy ?

@samijamal6954 6 лет назад

Thank you I learned a lot of things from you

@ewendyfin 2 года назад

Thanks so much for educating us. Lately I’ve heard a bit about this test so I asked my GP since she’s just acknowledged I do have pre diabetes. She’d never heard of it. Maybe it’s not available in Australia? I’ll keep looking. Thanks again for your hard work.😘

You can calculate HOMA-IR yourself if you have results for your blood glucose and insulin.

@michaelhenderson5428 Год назад

Dr. said that there was noting to be gained( not in so many words) to doing a fasting insulin test! He said that checking glucose level accomplished the same thing.

@dr.macmiller7841 Год назад

LabCorp does not have this test in their offerings. Could it be listed under a different name? I would very much like to see my HOMA IR test results.

I did Keto for 9 months, lost 24 lbs in the first 6 weeks, then Nothing...nothing. My blood sugars went up from 120 to 140 and Never went back down. I quit when I started having heart pains 9 months later. I was eating No Carbs except for what was in my Greens, and NO sugars.

My glucose was at 125 last check...so I feel better seeing this video.

@belleray2 4 года назад

Thanks Doc. Is there a meter we can check our own insulin levels?

@fionen 4 дня назад

That's confusing because my glucose is a bit over 100 but insulin normal but that still made the homa ir high not low. So how does that make sense?

@clarissejones9353 6 лет назад

Here in Canada every time I asked him to check my insulin levels they just tell me oh we don’t do that here. So I can’t get it done. Most infuriating

@kassrripples3659 4 года назад

look up Dr Jason Fung's office the staff there can suggest where to order the test you may be able to go direct to the pathologist

@zay_y Год назад

Has anyone found where you can buy this test to do it at home?

Dr. Berg what do you eat for Thanksgiving dinner?

@stoney5137 5 лет назад

Dr Berg or anyone else who can answer, (Short Version) Would being on a Keto diet already (about 3 months) affect the results of a test like this? (Long Version) What I mean is, I was diagnosed with pre-type 2 4 months ago, for multiple reasons, Wife and I decided to try Keto. We have had great success and my fasting blood sugar is pretty good, look great, feel even better (thank you BTW). With respect to long term health, I would obviously like to reverse my insulin resistance, not just be able to better control my blood sugar WHILE ON Keto. So my question is while on a Keto diet, will tests like this have the same kind of result range as someone who is eating a heavy carbohydrate based diet? Yes all foods will invoke an insulin response, but lower carbs would mean less insulin "stress" (don't know the real term but I think you know what I mean). Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this

@BeetleJuice1980 6 лет назад

Omiostatic would be more correct than homiostatic. Strange why some words got translated like that. Excellent video Dr!

@alchemy1 Год назад

Oh wow, that is interesting. In Keto adaptation period, glucose level seem to go up. No wonder. I was wondering what on earth is going on. I guess I willl have to just keep hanging in there. One things is definitely immediate. Weight loss. And second thing ( in my case) blood pressure went down, within couple of months at the tune of 10 points. I don't count those times when it reads exceptional low.

@raminr2784 2 года назад

I now know why my blood sugar is higher than normal because I’m in adaptation faze I’ve been doing keto for three month now. Thank you

@gerrycramer 4 месяца назад

sadly, i've been doing keto for 5-6 years and my bg readings are often 70-90 range... and my ketones are often 1.5-3.0 (most of the time)... I also practice 1-2x/mo 60-72 hr extended water fasts. I thought all was good until I did the HOMA-IR blood test only to find that my HOMA-IR score is 2.88 which is considered high insulin resistance. I must be doing something wrong.... and the daily BG and KETONES tests are misleading me to think I must be insulin sensitive when I'm not. I've also read that it's possible for ketones (during my blood test my ketones were +3).... to skew the HOMA-IR Score. But, I'm not sure if this is likely in my case or not or how to know for sure one way or the other. I may do this test several times spread out over a period of time and see if I consistently see the same results or not but, it is a bit discouraging for now (since I just got my test scores back a couple days ago). Anybody have any thoughts?

which one is preferable, better Homa IR or Homa B?

I have a question, my wife has blood sugars of 250, her C-peptide is normal, but she can’t seem to get her sugars down, even when she’s fasting and not eating at all her blood sugar stay in the 250 range. Any idea what’s causing this? She’s been dealing with this for a while, many insulins don’t work on her and we’re really at a point that we don’t know what to do. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
