Investigation of GH Modulus on the Linear Elastic Glucose Behavior Based On Three Diabetes Patients Data using the GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine, Part 3 (No. 350)

Abstract

Gerald C. Hsu

This article is Part 3 of the linear elastic glucose research work. It is also the continuation of the simple linear equation for the predicted postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) in References 2, 3, and 4. Here is the formula Predicted PPG= (FPG* 0.97) + (carbs/sugar grams * M2) - (post-meal waking K-steps * 5) The author connected his biomedical equation with a basic concept of linear elasticity which includes stress and strain, along with the Young’s modulus of strength of materials in structural & mechanical engineering. By using the collected data of glucose, food, and exercise from three different type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, he demonstrated once again that a “pseudo-linear” relationship existed in all three clinical cases, between the carbs/sugar intake amount and incremental PPG amount, with a newly defined coefficient of “GH modulus” (same as the M2 multiplier) cited in References 7 and 8. The linear elastic glucose behavior is similar to the Young’s modules (E) linking stress and strain of engineering strength of materials
