[Formulas for estimating the RD parameter in the algorithm of statistical regulation of glycemia with a biostator]
Abstract:
An analytical approach to the estimation of the RD parameter for this algorithm has been developed; up to the latest time this parameter was chosen by the investigators by the 'try and miss' technique, based on the scientist's intuition. Three interactive formulae for the calculation of the RD parameter were derived, differing by the degree of the parameter modulation in the iterative procedure of the search for the precise value. The method for estimation of glucose utilization rate was adapted for the clamp method results obtained with a biostator; this method was for the first time used in the semiautomated glycemia regulation, that may improve the accuracy of glucose tolerance estimation.
