What Fasting insulin and homa ir measures
This marker adds real-world context to insulin sensitivity and helps separate genetic tendency from current physiology.
Why this marker matters
It matters because These markers are the fastest way to check whether insulin-response strain is showing up in practice.
When to check it
- when insulin sensitivity ranks near the top of the report
- when symptoms overlap with insulin sensitivity follow-up
How to interpret it
- Use it alongside the other recommended markers in this pathway.
- Do not treat this as a diagnosis without clinical context.
Where it fits in DNA follow-up
Fasting insulin and homa ir is most useful when DNA suggests insulin-response signaling may be less efficient under metabolic load.
Example Insight
Insulin sensitivity looks more relevant when fasting insulin and homa ir lines up with the gene pattern instead of contradicting it.
