Diagnosis and Treatment

The motivation for this book is two-fold. On one hand, the book seeks to promote the notion that mathematical and computational modeling is critically important in advancing the scientific understanding of the physiological processes underpinning the regulation of blood glucose and, therefore, can be valuable in medical/clinical efforts to manage diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, the book advocates the view that these modeling efforts must rely primarily on data-based approaches as the scientific and methodological pathway leading to our ultimate objective in a most efficient and expeditious manner.
