Hey everyone, I just got my insulin resistance labs back. My glucose and insulin levels look fine and within the normal range, but I'm totally lost on what "peripheral insulin sensitivity" and "pancreatic beta cell activity" actually mean. Also, what’s a typical target range for the insulin resistance index? Thanks in advance!
Glucose 5.8 mmol/L (reference range 4.2 to 6)
Insulin 10.0 mU/L (reference range 2.6 to 24.9)
Pancreatic beta cell activity (HOMA calculator) 93.9%
Peripheral insulin sensitivity (HOMA calculator) 64.4%
Insulin resistance index (HOMA calculator) 1.6
Glucose 5.8 mmol/L (reference range 4.2 to 6)
