Understanding HOMA IR C - Peptide Model in New Delhi
What is HOMA IR C - Peptide Model in New Delhi?
HOMA or Homeostatic model assessment is a method used for testing beta cell function and insulin sensitivity from C peptide concentrations and fasting glucose. It is used to evaluate the changes in insulin as well as to examine the natural history of diabetes.
What does HOMA IR C - Peptide Model measure?

FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar)
A fasting blood sugar test measures the glucose level in the body under overnight fasting conditions. Glucose serves as the body's energy currency and is broken down through metabolism to produce energy. Hormones and enzymes produced by the liver and pancreas control this process. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels. When these levels are high, such as after a meal, insulin is secreted to transport glucose into cells for energy production. Elevated glucose levels in the body after fasting may indicate a risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes, which can be of two types- Type 1, caused by little or no insulin production, and Type 2, caused by insulin resistance or decreased insulin production.
