Applying Lifestyle Pattern Analysis and Glucose/Exercise Segmentation Analysis to Study the Impacts of Hot Summer Weather on Exercise and Busy Traveling Lifestyle on Postprandial Plasma Glucose During a 3.4-Year Period from 5/8/2018 to 8/29/2021 Based on GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine (No. 504)

Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

Since 1/1/2012, the author measured his postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) using the finger-piercing method three times a day at two hours after the first bite of his meals. After eating each meal, he normally walks around 4,000 steps from 1 to 1.5 hours post-meal. Since 5/5/2018, he applied a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor device on his upper arm and collected glucose data constantly at 15-minute time intervals and then recorded the complete data on his iPhone. As a result, he has been accumulating 13 glucose values for each PPG at 3-hour periods and 96 glucose data each day over the past 3.4 years from 5/8/2018 to 8/29/2021. By early 2019, he noticed that most of his daily sensor PPG waveforms have had similar shapes. They usually appeared as a mountain shape with its peak at various heights around 60-minutes post-meal and then they would start to decline for another hour. This means that his PPG curve usually reaches to its peak approximately 60-minutes and then drops to its nadir around 120-minutes. After 120-minutes, if he stops walking, sometimes his PPG curve would start to tilt upward again, but the PPG curve would remain flat at nadir position for most of the remaining time. Either remaining as a flat line or moving ahead with a smaller slope to reach to another lower peak near 180-minutes are considered significant biophysical phenomena of PPG biomedical behavior. After noticing this biophysical phenomenon of glucose waves, he started to research and analyze them with the energy theory and wave theory which he learned from academic disciplines such as mechanical engineering, structural engineering and electronic engineering. As a result, he started to utilize the concept of the energy balance between infusion and consumption that would result at either an energy equilibrium or disequilibrium situation. This state of energy balance from engineering are related to the mass-energy equivalence theory such as theory of relativity of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the above-mentioned situations are extremely similar to the biomedical condition of metabolism in medicine. These learned knowledge and research findings lead him into an expanded scope of the damage created on internal organs through excessive energy, i.e., when the energy infusion from food is greater than the energy consumption by exercise and other factors.
