[QUOTE="Neil Sing, post: 1790076, member: 474437"] The HOMA-IR test measures insulin resistance and is a combination of insulin fasting and glucose entered into a model to measure insulin resistance. It’s value is that it can pick up insulin resistance years before high glucose results occur. For those of us with any form of diabetes already identified it is thus too late. However it may be a better measure of one’s progress in overcoming Td2 than hbA1c. I am going to request such a test at my new doctor next visit even if I have pay for it myself. The new Dr came about when my existing one told me that it was too risky to lower my hbA1c below 39. [/QUOTE]
