Using Time-Series and Forecasting to Manage Type 2 Diabetes Conditions (GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine)

Abstract

This paper describes the author’s application of Time-Series Analysis and forecasting to manage type 2 diabetes (T2D) conditions. The dataset is provided by the author, who uses his own T2D metabolic conditions control, as a case study via the “math-physical medicine” approach of a non-traditional methodology in medical research. Math-physical medicine (MPM) starts with the observation of the human body’s physical phenomena (not biological or chemical characteristics), collecting elements of the disease related data (preferring big data), utilizing applicable engineering modeling techniques, developing appropriate mathematical equations (not just statistical analysis), and finally predicting the direction of the development and control mechanism of the disease.
