HOMA-IR stands for Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance. The meaningful part of the acronym is “insulin resistance”. It marks for both the presence and extent of any insulin resistance that you might currently express. It is a terrific way to reveal the dynamic between your baseline (fasting) blood sugar and the responsive hormone insulin.

According to my calculation, HOMA IR comes to 1.8 ( not 0.9 as you have stated) which means you have early insulin resistance.

The primary treatment for insulin resistance is exercise and weight loss. Research shows that a low-carbohydrate diet may help.
