Viscoelastic and Viscoplastic Glucose Theory (VGT #31): Applying VGT with Two Different CGM Sensor Measured 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) values from 240 Liquid Egg Meals and 191 Solid Egg Meals as the Strain, along with the PPG Change Rate Multiplied by a Viscosity Factor of Average Carbs/ Sugar Amounts for Each Egg Meal Type as the Stress, and then Applying the Viscoelastic Perturbation Model to Calculate Two Predicted PPG Values to Compare Against Two Measured PPG Values Based on GH-Method: MathPhysical Medicine (No. 612)
Abstract
Gerald C Hsu
The author has studied strength of materials and theory of elasticity through his undergraduate courses at the University of Iowa. He also conducted research work and earned a master’s degree in Biomechanics under Professor James Andrews. In 1970-1971, he used a combined spring and dashpot model to simulate the behaviors of human joints, bones, muscles, and tendons in order to investigate the human-weapon interactions during the Vietnam war era. Later, he went to MIT to pursue his PhD study under Professor Norman Jones, who taught him theory of plasticity and dynamic plastic behaviors of various structure elements. To further his education, he took additional graduate courses in various fields of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, bridge design using energy absorption pad, and soil mechanics under earthquake influences which have dealt with “time-dependency” issues.
