Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the glucose-insulin interaction following a glucose load such as occurs in an IVGTT. This model differs from earlier models in that the insulin response to glucose loading is a recurring all or none threshold response. The model has been simulated on a digital computer using the digital analog simulation language CSMP.
