Rudimentary Model Of Glucose Response To Stress, Nasha Rios-Guzman

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two

A simplistic multifactorial model was crafted to represent change in plasma glucose concentrations after increases in stress hormones above baseline. A sample application of the predictive use of this model was demonstrated, and a reflection on possible models in diabetic populations was described. The potential for use of this model in conjunction with current models is discussed, as well as the issues pertinent to such a basic model.
