ABOUT THE CREATOR
David R. Matthews, MD, is a Professor of Diabetic Medicine at the University of Oxford. He is the Deputy co-ordinator and member of the Executive and Policy Advisory Committees of the UK Prospective Study of Diabetes (UKPDS), as well as the founder of the Oxford Health Alliance. He is currently investigating the inter-relationships between insulin resistance and beta cell function, and the effects of a low carbohydrate diet in people with and without type 2 diabetes at Churchill Hospital with the Center of Diabetes, in the United Kingdom.

The score, a shortcut for estimating insulin resistance (IR), has been examined in multiple studies.
Results typically show reasonable correlation between HOMA-IR and ‘clamp’ measurement, the gold standard.
However agreement levels between the two, a more important gauge for individual accuracy and clinical use, are weak, suggesting more research and refinement are needed for clinical use.
