Mathematical models afford a procedure of unifying concepts and hypotheses by expressing quantitative relationships between observables. The model presented indicates the roles of both insulin and glucagon as regulators of blood glucose, albeit in different ranges of the blood glucose concentrations
Preliminary studies had indicated the usefulness of a simplified model of the bloodglucose regulatory system in predicting the response to an oral load. Analog simulations have been performed to test inherent approximations and to determine the relative importance of some of the biological mechanism
