A periodic-type dose effect of insulin in the blood glucose level of a diabetes milletus subject

Abstract

We investigated in this paper the effect of a periodic-type insulin dose on a diabetic patient. An appropriate matching condition is introduced in our problem by expressing the insulin dose using a Fourier series expansion. Our result gives insight to the state of the patient over a period of administration. Clearly, there is the possibility of hypoglycemia. Hence a great care is needed while trying to inject the patient periodically.
