Statistical Analysis of Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a disease where the glucosis-content of the blood does not automatically decrease to a ”normal” value between 70 mg/dl and 120 mg/dl (3,89 mmol/l and 6,67 mmol/l) between perhaps one hour (or two hours) after eating. Several instruments can be used to arrive at a relative low increase of the glucosis-content. Besides drugs (oral antidiabetica, insulin) the blood-sugar content can mainly be influenced by (i) eating, i.e., consumption of the right amount of food at the right time (ii) physical training (walking, cycling, swimming). In a recent paper the author has performed a regression analysis on the influence of eating during the night. The result was that one ”bread-unit” (12g carbon-hydrats) increases the blood-sugar by about 50 mg/dl, while one hour after eating the blood-sugar decreases by about 10 mg/dl per hour. By applying this result-assuming its correctness - it is easy to eat the right amount during the night and to arrive at a fastening blood-sugar (glucosis-content) in the morning of about 100 mg/dl (5,56 mmol/l). In this paper we try to incorporate some physical exercise into the model.
