Conclusion
The review provides an overview of various mathematical models used to understand diabetes and its complications.
Supporting Evidence
- Mathematical models have been used to estimate glucose disappearance and insulin-glucose dynamics.
- The review includes models that are simple and comprehensive, deterministic and stochastic.
- Several reviews have focused on specific aspects of diabetes, but this paper aims to provide a broader overview.
Takeaway
This paper looks at different math models that help us understand diabetes better, like how insulin and glucose work together.
Methodology
The review analyzes existing mathematical models related to diabetes, including their structures and applications.
Limitations
The review does not aim to compare all models or classify them based on performance.
