Abstract
This study investigates on the regulation of blood sugar, including the different types of
diabetes mellitus. The two types of diabetes are called type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
The difference between these two types is that one is treated with insulin, while the other is
not. This study also investigates the effect of insulin and glucagon on blood sugar. This
assignment explains about blood sugar - what high and low blood sugar is and what the
symptoms are of these types of blood sugar. When you have high blood sugar levels, you are
treated with insulin - and when you have low blood sugar, you will be treated with glucagon.
Besides this, this assignment investigates the typical types of insulin you use when you have a
diabetes disease, also called long-acting and short-acting insulin. This assignment will also
highlight the insulin industrial production over the years and its development, including the
natural production of insulin – in that way it will be comparable. Furthermore, linear
regression and correlation will be explained, including how to argue for linear regression
using functions of two variables and their derivative functions. To discuss this furthermore, an
experiment is set, where a person consumes a pint of cola. The blood glucose is then
measured each quarter in mmol/L. To investigate this additionally, a linear model and an
exponential model for my data is made, and then their movements is observed – and in the
end, the result of the function who had the best fit to the points is found.
