How to Test for Insulin Resistance

Dr. Berg: There's a test called HOMAIR, stands for Homostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance. It measures how hard the body is working to keep glucose down. In certain circumstances, when you do keto, you may find your blood glucose actually goes up a little bit. Dr. Berg: The reason why the glucose will go high is because we don't have this push down insulin force anymore or at least not large quantities of it.
