Abstract

An overview of some of the mathematical models appearing in the literature for use in the glucose-insulin regulatory system in relation to diabetes is given, enhanced with a survey on available software. The models are in the form of ordinary differential, partial differential, delay differential and integro-differential equations. Some computational results are also presented.
