    Notes: Abstract The objective of this preliminary study was to develop a new quantitative method of setting the initial insulin infusion patterns in treatment of diabetic patients. The method is based upon the mathematical estimation of the insulin profile required to maintain the glucose level within the normal range after glucose loading in diabetic patients. Using our previously developed equivalent circuit model of glucose kinetics and the reported data of an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in two groups of normal and diabetic patients, two important physiological parameters of the model (the peripheral tissue's insulin resistivity and the hepatic sensitivity to glucose level) were computed for two clinical groups. Then the insulin profile was obtained by computing the plasma insulin concentrations required to keep the total glucose utilization rate of the tissue and the liver in the diabetic group equal to that of the normal group. The simulation result indicated that the computed insulin profile produced a plasma glucose profile which was more closely matched to the normal group's glucose profile than with the case of emulating the normal group's insulin profile in the diabetic group.

    Notes: Abstract A new quantitative method was developed for separation of physiological factors influencing glucose intolerance in diabetes mellitus using a three-compartmental model and the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in humans. The present model includes the physiologic factors of the hepatic glucose balance function, the peripheral tissue's glucose utilization rate, and the insulin secretion rate. The insulin sensitivity parameter and hepatic glucose sensitivity parameter were estimated in optimal fitting of the model-based data of glucose and insulin concentrations to the measured IVGTT data in 9 normal and 11 diabetic subjects. The results show that these sensitivity parameters are important for separation of the effects of the interactive physiologic factors, and, also useful in evaluating different glucose-insulin kinetics in 3 clinical groups of normal and diabetic subjects.
