Individual Presentation or Panel Title

Revision and Analysis of a Mathematical Model for the Rate of Production of HbA1C Levels in Diabetic Patients

Abstract

This project analyzes the development of a statistical model constructed in the article, A Statistical Model for Describing the Response of Diabetic Patients to Insulin. It combines the application of concepts in differential equations, calculus, and statistics. After working through the mathematics presented in the original article, I found what appeared to be an error in the construction of one of the case models. This error led me to construct a new model with corrected equations. In the original article, the authors developed a model that describes the response of diabetic dogs to insulin therapy. I will apply similar techniques to the corrected equations developed in the new model to provide a more accurate representation of canine response to insulin. I hope to find that the corrected equations provide an even better fit to the data provided in the original article.
