HOMA-IR 6.4 at 29 — metformin needed?
29M, 98kg, 178cm (BMI 31). Fasting labs 22/06/2026. Fasting Glucose: 93 (normal) HbA1c: 5.7% (borderline) Fasting Insulin: 54 mIU/L (high, ref 2.6-24.9) HOMA-IR: 6.4 (high, ref 0.7-2.0) ALT 64, GGT 98 ( fatty liver), Vit D 16 (deficient). Hypertension on Cilnidipine. No diabetes. Endocrinologist advised only weight loss and vitamin D. But my HOMA-IR is 3x the upper limit. Should I be on metformin at this stage to address insulin resistance and protect against diabetes, or is weight loss alone the right approach? Also open to GLP-1 if appropriate given BMI 31.
