78. How to Test for Insulin Resistance (HOMA Score Tutorial) - a podcast by Dr. Morgan Nolte, PT, DPT, GCS
from 2021-06-17T00:00
Do you know if you have insulin resistance? Learn how to test for insulin resistance by finding your HOMA Score with this tutorial. 85% of adults are insulin resistant and most don’t know about it! If you have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, you have insulin resistance - the question is to what degree.
Knowing how resistant you are to insulin can be a very important marker for your health status, and motivating to track along your health journey.
In this video you’ll learn how to get your fasting blood glucose and fasting blood insulin checked to calculate your homeostatic model assessment, or HOMA IR Score. You’ll also learn about the Glucose Insulin Response Test and use an insulin sensitivity scale to measure your level of insulin sensitivity.
Towards the end of the video, you can learn signs and symptoms of insulin resistance if you don’t wish to have bloodwork done.
