Mathematical modelling of root causes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in a diabetes mellitus patient

The rapid increase of diabetes patients in the world has attracted many researchers’ efforts to find the best way of managing the disease. However, lack of clear etiology in some types of the diseases such as Idiopathic Type 1 Diabetes hinders the effort. Here we present a mathematical model that de...
