HOMA-IR calculator with insulin units conversion and predictor

(watch the video for an orientation on calculator use)

The following calculator will calculate your HOMA-IR based on your fasting insulin and fasting glucose taken at the same lab date.

It will also convert the insulin from mg/dl to pmol/L so it can be evaluated on the "Percent Fat Loss Chart" in certain programs.

You can later add a new glucose to your prior insulin and glucose to see the resultant new insulin which you can then compare "new" to the "Percent Fat Loss Chart" in certain programs. The value is that you can see the effect of glucose levels a few hours after a meal or the change after some exercise for the effect on Lipolysis.

The scale below is the range for the HOMA-IR, a marker of insulin resistance. The higher the insulin resistance, the more insulin will be required to achieve glucose homeostasis (ie ~ 5g sugar in the bloodstream) which will impede lipolysis (fat breakdown).
